Cynthia-Reeves Launches New 'Artists-in-Dialogue' Series, FORM & ABSTRACTION

CYNTHIA-REEVES debuts a new series, "Artists-in-Dialogue", with a summer exhibition entitled "Form & Abstraction" -- a conversation between two established artists, Willard Boepple and Lloyd Martin. Both are widely recognized and have exhibited frequently in New York; CYNTHIA-REEVES has included their work in numerous art fairs both domestically and internationally. The exhibition is on view at The Barn, 28 Main Street in Walpole, New Hampshire through August 27, and the gallery is open year-round Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Both Martin and Boepple employ rich color in their works, which hew toward the formalist approach to abstraction. The rigor of composition is a vehicle by which colors are teased out, as each artist works layer upon layer to obtain the tonal pitch and juxtaposition of color that, in Boepple's words, make the work "sing". For these artists, color and form are inseparable, and it is the symbiosis of the two that expresses their approach to geometric form made dynamic through their tonal considerations.

This exhibition follows the gallery's solo exhibition of Martin's large-scale paintings at its venue on the campus of MASS MoCA; this current show at the Walpole gallery places these two strong colorists shoulder to shoulder in an exploration of modernist abstraction as expressed through their individual lens

The conversation is highlighted this week with an Artists' Reception on Saturday, July 9, 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. The artists will be in attendance and the reception is open to the public.
