featuring
Jason Abbott, Margaret Benton Jones, Al Latorre, Morgan McKinney, Norris Padgett III, Jeff Satterthwaite, and James Timberlake
Friday, August 5
6:00pm-8:00pm

Sponsored by Mike & Lori Dershowitz

During the month of August, Arts on Main will host a nautical themed group show featuring local and regional artists: Jason Abbott, Margaret Benton Jones, Al Latorre, Morgan McKinney, Norris Padgett III, Jeff Satterthwaite, and James Timberlake. The opening of the show will take place on First Friday, August 5 from 6pm-8pm. This is a free event and open to the public. The show will be on display from August 5- August 27.


 

Jason Abbott

“My inspiration comes from the natural beauty around me. Living in the tidewater region of Virginia, I have the luxury of experiencing the constantly changing light and water conditions. My paintings range from realism to impressionism depending on the subject and technique.”


     

Margaret Benton Jones is a Yorktown artist who grew up in the Tidewater area. She knew painting was what she wanted to do and even built an art studio before ever picking up a paint brush after retiring as an Operating Room Nurse. Her primary medium is acrylic where she enjoys all subjects from sailboats to sunflowers. She has a unique way of expressing her passion for life on canvas using bright colors and bold brush strokes.


     

Al Latorre

“I paint in oils on canvas, my art represents my past, present, and merely subjects that I am drawn to such as, landscapes, seascapes of Virginia and other places I have resided or visited.

Although by trade, I was a Graphic Designer and had formal training in Visual Communications from Northeastern University, I am primarily self-taught in oil painting, I feel I have been blessed with an eye to paint pleasing, peaceful scenes we can all relate to. I have been painting for over 40 years primarily in oils and watercolors.”


     

Morgan McKinney is a painter of Contemporary Impressionism living in Richmond, Virginia. His distinctive style is influenced by a career as a graphic artist, a years long search for bright, vivid, saturated color, and a love/hate relationship with OCD. Painting full time since 2003, his quest for these vibrant colors led to the evolution of a unique approach. It involves painting individual segments with solid colors which have been premixed on the pallet, not blended and muddied on the canvas. Although slow and tedious, the distinct separation and purity of all colors and gradations, along with the impactful use of contrast and light, result in an almost mosaic, crystalline composition. His oil paintings, inspired by the love of sailing and architecture, are praised for evoking feelings of calmness and tranquility. “I want viewers to step into my paintings for a brief moment, pause, and experience light, color, and serenity the way I see it,” says McKinney. “No deep contemplation required.”


     

Norris Padgett III is a well-known Southern artist working in many media: watercolor, acrylic, pastels, oils and wood. His work is represented in many private collections and galleries in the southeast. He is 58 years old, always has had a love for ships and the sea.


Jeff Satterthwaite

“I am a Creative Retoucher who has over thirty years of industry experience working with distinguished Art Directors, Designers, & Photographers around the globe. I currently call Richmond, Virginia my home. I have lived and worked in the Metropolitan cities of Ft. Lauderdale, New Orleans, St. Louis, Charlotte, Toronto and New York. I have been fortunate to learn and work alongside some of the most talented, and acknowledged Creatives in our industry, and our combined talents have allowed me to create contemporary art and advertising that move markets. Our combined artistry consistently serves as visual waypoints to increase monetary reward in our changing economy. My personal successes have been featured in PDN, Archive, Graphics and Photoshop Creative UK.”


     

James Timberlake

“The finest compliment I could receive is for a group of people to see a painting of mine and each person has a completely different interpretation, with no two people seeing the same thing. That is what I set out to achieve through my work. After taking a break for several years, it is good to creating again. Making abstract paintings is an emotional experience for me. Each piece comes from my heart and imagination- getting to share that with others brings me great satisfaction.

I started painting later in life while in my mid-fifties, inspired by my surroundings in an art community in Richmond, VA and by many artists that I worked around daily. A special thanks to Matt Lively, who just by being a neighbor and friend, helped guide me through the basics. Matt gave me the opportunity to help him in his studio, which is where I received the very best education.

I love using oil on wood panels and canvas to create abstract artwork. I especially love the many layers of colors in each painting.  I take the time to allow each layer to dry and then repeat the process. Sometimes, the process takes much patience and time, at other times the painting is produced more quickly. The key is to know when to stop. Once a painting has a depressed or aged appearance, I feel the ultimate pleasure and know that the piece is finished.”


Live music will be provided by Tom Euler.

Tom Euler is an award-winning singer/songwriter and accomplished guitarist, whose powerful and thoughtful playing style has quickly led to him becoming known as “the young guy with the old soul.” The blues/rock musician from Virginia, is making a name for himself as front man of the Tom Euler Trio and Tom Euler Band, and formerly as lead guitarist for the Bobby Blackhat Band.  Euler, whose progressive blues sound and high energy performances has people talking, has had the good fortune to share the stage with such great blues artists as Tas Cru, Memphis Gold, Jackie Scott, Bobby Messano, and Sherman Holmes.  He counts playing the 2016 Finals of the IBC at the Orpheum Theater in Memphis as a highlight of his young blues career.  


First Friday will take place on Friday, August 5 from 6:00pm-8:00pm. This event is free and open to the public. Beer and wine will be available for purchase.

July 2022 First Friday: “Journey with Art” by Tenley Raithel

July 2022 First Friday
“Journey with Art” by Tenley Raithel
Friday, July 1
6:00pm-8:00pm

First Friday sponsored by Martha Matthews

Exhibit sponsored by Commonwealth Energy Systems

 

      

Journey with Art 

The experiences of her life influence her journey with art. They are the connections that stimulate her thoughts and are reflected in the colors that emerge in her art.

Art reminds Tenley of her connections with the world and the need to respect and care for this beautiful planet and its people. She sees the struggles in our current world, and desires to be a force of healing. Science demonstrates that color is a valid source when seeking balance. The clear colors within her paintings provide a venue for contemplation leading viewers towards focus, clarity, and balance.

As an artist, she brings mindfulness into her studio. When she paints, she is mindful of not only the design, but the healing values of colors. She juxtaposes complementary colors in some paintings to bring a strong interplay of balancing forces. In most paintings she uses colors in their brightest forms to allow the viewer the opportunity to explore colors and find where their focus is most attracted for contemplation, connection, and healing.

Growing up in California, she developed a casual attitude and appreciation of nature: family gardens, days at the beach, camping in the Sierra Nevada’s, and early opportunities experimenting with a variety of artistic mediums. Musical and dance taught her that hard work develops confidence. She experienced the joy of art emerging from within her as she grew up. Art energizes her, and it became a connection with her world.

Her college years were spent in Florida and California with an early marriage to a U.S. Naval Officer and years traveling with his military career. She graduated from San Jose State University with a B.A. in Creative Arts, an interdisciplinary degree exploring the links between history, music, visual arts, and literature. She shared this knowledge and understanding with her four children and many other children while teaching elementary school for many years. She brings that knowledge into her art.

Tenley lived internationally and traveled extensively to explore new cultures and nature’s diversity: jungles and architecture of Singapore, fields of yellow rapeseed and thatched roof cottages of England, beaches in Mozambique, waterfalls in Zimbabwe, landscapes of Italy, lavender fields of Provence, chateaus in the Loire Valley, halls of historic monasteries, the way light falls through the redwoods in California, the farms and rivers in the Shenandoah’s, gardens in local venues, and…. their natural beauty and the people living in each area inspire her.

Art and creativity have been her partners throughout her life. She has listened to her inner voice when seeking expression. As her art skills have developed and changed over time, color and nature have always been dominant themes, and currently she focuses on color and its healing properties.

In this day of minimalism, she hopes that beauty does not lose its significance. Our needs can be met in an instant and hard work can oftentimes buy us exactly what we want. But do we know what we need and what will elevate our culture? Can we find beauty within the turmoil? She hopes that her art will allow viewers a place to contemplate, allow colors to work their magic, and will lead them to a life with more kindness, more connection, more peace, and more beauty.

 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Tenley creates her artworks using oil and watercolor in a style that reflects a modern approach to color theory.

Tenley’s recent series of oil paintings use bright and clear colors that allow contemplation. In these recent paintings, she has veered in a new direction with abstraction and bright oil colors.

According to Tenley, she seeks an avenue of balance and focus through her paintings.

“Our current culture is looking for not only beautiful art, but art that speaks to them in a way that moves them. My paints are the tools I use to create that possibility.”

Tenley lives with her husband, border collie, and rescue cat, working in her upstairs studio, in their 1890’s home in Historic Yorktown, Virginia.

She has raised a family and lived internationally with her husband’s naval career, always finding a place in her life for creativity.

After retiring from a teaching career, she began to focus on art full-time. She has been determined to find an engaging and uplifting way to express herself through her art.

Tenley has recently observed the impact colors can have to bring balance into lives that are searching. The colors in her paintings connect with the viewers and create a subliminal response that can be felt.

Her paintings combine both spontaneous gestural strokes as well as reflective, cerebral approaches; some images based on visual reality and others in a distinctly abstract mode.

Tenley usually has a cup of tea in her hand as she stands back and contemplates her ongoing work, with a palette of paints and brushes ready when her inner voice feels an urge. Her strongly spiritual nature leads her to rely heavily on God’s voice to direct her images and she shares credit for her creative expression.

“I believe art is a connection, like passing on a flame.”

June 2022 First Friday: “Plumb: Sphagnum Moss as Ecosystem Engineer” by Anne Yoncha

June 2022 First Friday
“Plumb: Sphagnum Moss as Ecosystem Engineer” by Anne Yoncha
Friday, June 3
6:00pm-8:00pm

 

Arts on Main will host “Plumb: Sphagnum Moss as Ecosystem Engineer” by Anne Yoncha from June 3- June 11.  “Plumb” is based on an art-science collaboration that began as a Fulbright fellowship in 2019. Visual artists can make work which illuminates complex and often hidden ecological relationships – in this case, literally hidden underground. Join us for the opening of this exhibit for First Friday on June 3 from 6:00pm-8:00pm.

 

         

“I collaborate with ecologists at the Natural Resources Institute Finland to explore peatland – a rare type of ecosystem where Sphagnum moss slowly decomposes and creates an anaerobic, water-logged desert where only it can survive and thrive. In this way, the plant is a plumber, and an engineer, similar to us! Many of the works in this show explore the physiology of Sphagnum – how cells can expand to hold 20 times their weight in water, how the plants weave together to form a mat, and sometimes create an artificial water table. I piece together hand-made paper from plants at our study site, digitally altered photos of the site, and laser cuts from microscope images of Sphagnum, to create not-quite-flat paintings I call “peat quilts”.

Peatland is a valuable carbon sink and climate data preserver. It’s also a source of local fuel and jobs for Finnish people. However, peatland can’t be grown fast enough or regenerated after extraction – so we are left with a problem of how to deal with these altered, or “novel”, ecosystems. I hope this close look at a faraway ecosystem we have forever altered can provide some insight on how we can deal with post-human landscapes closer to home. Like a quilt, all our ecological systems are connected.” – Anne Yoncha

 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Anne Yoncha (US) is Assistant Professor of Art at East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma. Born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, she earned her MFA at the University of Montana and recently completed a Fulbright fellowship at the Natural Resources Institute Finland, working with restorationists to make collaborative art-science work about former peat extraction sites outside Oulu. Her practice combines digital sensing technology, such as bio-data sonification, and analog, traditional processes including painting with ink she makes from locally-sourced plant matter. Her ongoing research with the HAB (High Altitude Bioprospecting) working group began in Fall 2019 at Field_Notes, a residency of Finland’s Bio Art Society at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station in subarctic Lapland, where she worked with artists, biologists, and programmers to attempt to detect high-altitude microbes using a heli-kite. Tree Talk, her temporary site-specific installation sonifying invisible processes within a stand of Ponderosa pines, was selected as the 2018 Emerging Artist project at Blackfoot Pathways Sculpture in the Wild in Lincoln, Montana. She has also been awarded residencies at Cedar Point Biological Station in Ogallala, Nebraska, and Flathead Lake Biological Station in Polson, Montana. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally, notably at the CICA Museum in South Korea, Finland’s Art Ii Biennial, the Budapest Environmental Project, and Codex Foundation’s international artistic exploration “Extraction: Art on the Edge of Abyss”. Outside the studio she can often be found doing another kind of environmental “research” via bicycle.


Live music will be provided by Harris Creekers out of Hampton, VA. 

First Friday is on June 3 from 6:00pm-8:00pm. This event is free and open to the public. Beer and wine will be available for purchase.

May 2022 First Friday: Group Show featuring Matt Lively, Ed Trask, Agnes Grochulska, Thomas Van Auken, and Caesar

Group Show featuring Matt Lively, Ed Trask, Agnes Grochulska, Thomas Van Auken, and Caesar
May 6, 2022
6:00pm-8:00pm
Sponsored by Jens and Kathy Andersen

During the month of May, Arts on Main is excited to exhibit artwork by Matt Lively, Ed Trask, Agnes Grochulska, Thomas Van Auken, and Caesar. The artists will be displaying artwork created of different views in Gloucester, as well as work from their private collections. The exhibit will be on display until May 28.

 

 

Matt Lively is a sculptor, painter, and muralist living in Richmond, Virginia. He has designed installations, worked on films, and illustrated books. Lively tries to let his work be defined more by an openness to new ideas and opportunities than by working solely in one particular medium. His success over 25 years is a result of learning through mistakes combined with the collective wisdom of others. Collaborating with other passionate people always presents new avenues to explore that Lively believes he would never be able to experience working on his own. Lively makes images that suggest a story without a beginning or end. Learning to stop before the piece reveals too much is the most delicate aspect of his process. When not in his studio, Lively can be found teaching at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Studio School.

 

 

Ed Trask is a musician, painter, and muralist whose work has been collected into many permanent collections. Trask earned a BFA in Painting & Printmaking from VCU and while in school, he transformed many of the dilapidated buildings around Richmond City into his very own art gallery through painted murals. After graduating in 1992, he continued painting illegal murals around the world while on tour with different punk rock bands and friends. Trask has since become involved with bringing creative changes to Richmond and other cities through public art. He co-founded the RVA Street Art Festival and served as a commissioner for Richmond’s Public Art Commission. He is a past board member of the Visual Arts Center of Richmond and has lectured and facilitated creative consulting programs for numerous corporations while working with community nonprofits to bring creative, inclusive public art throughout the city. Ed Trasks’ paintings and murals appear in many permanent collections, including the Modern & Contemporary Art Collection at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Ed lives in Richmond VA with his wife and two children.

 

 

Agnes Grochulska’s paintings, while anchored in representation, capture the emotion, the essence of their subject with their rich language of expressive marks and abstracted forms. The cornerstones of her body of work are portraits, recognized for their dynamic character. Tensions between the bold form and the apparent intimacy of emotion – where calligraphic lines, together with impasto textures and vivid colors suggest underlying energy and feeling – compose an insightful psychological image of the subject.

Agnes Grochulska imbues her portraits with various emotions but leaves room for individual narrative, preferring to create works “in which not everything is fully realized. Art where the viewer can finish the story in their mind and in their own way.”

At the same time, the visible brush strokes, vivid colors and gestural character of her paintings offer their viewer an insight to the painting process itself. Her paintings express time spent looking and creating, an interest and a feeling for an irreplaceable time spent on creating. A feeling, not only for the portrayed person, but the person looking at the finished work as well. By highlighting the physical process of painting, Grochulska emphasizes the ever-shifting, intricate connection between the artist, the subject and the viewer .

 

 

Thomas Van Auken is known for his intuitive realism. “I don’t think it’s an artist’s job to give people what they think they want to see,” he says. “Instead, I show the world as it is. I paint the power lines in the pastoral landscape, the gas station we go to regularly.” He is not offering an opinion of these spaces, but he realizes that his choices bring up questions of how we are using the world. “We collectively choose to put all these things here. We are jointly creating the world we live in, so let’s take a look at it.” How viewers feel about the spaces he paints, he says, is entirely up to them.

 

 

After studying painting at VCU in the late 90s, Caesar followed his artistic vision throughout the country- painting murals of both legal and illegal nature, riding freight trains, fishing and camping along rivers and streams. While traveling and staying active in the low brow gallery scene, he was constantly making and selling his work: photographs, drawings, and paintings. He spent a few years painting houses in Alabama and Missouri, five years as a billboard painter in NYC, then back to VA in 2015 where he linked up with Ed Trask in Richmond. Caesar assisted Trask with all his wild painting projects.

Over the past few years, his time has been split between Richmond and the Eastern Shore, traveling along the banks of Chesapeake Bay and the Tidewater area in general, painting signs and murals of all shapes and sizes. A frequent guest of the popular Vibe District in Virginia Beach, Caesar has a few prominent murals throughout that neighborhood, and on occasion can be found working with Igor of Igor’s Customs.

Caesar’s company is 1500 Studios, and for most projects his right hand man is the promising young painter out of Richmond, Jarred Barr.

This particular body of work celebrates the powerful open spaces found along the Eastern Shore of Virginia, highlighting the majestic sunsets and the resilient farm fields in all their glory. Driving through this environment, the world is simplified, cut down to broad shapes, oceans of color, ancient property lines and equipment, endless marsh. The confluence of land and sea, the cadence of a brushstroke, the energy and vibration found in color and light. This work attempts to capture a bit of that beauty, and to use paint to honor the natural world for all of its wonder and might.

 


Live music will be provided by Connie Austin Smith.
