.-Lucy Lacoste Gallery starts the 2021 season with the esteemed British artist Ken Eastmans exhibition Border Country, created expressly for the Gallery. The work of this modernist master centers around the idea of the vessel. He uses the vessel as a subject, to give meaning and form to an expression. Working through the medium of ceramics, Eastman can be both builder and painter handling shape and structure, as well as exploring tone and color.
These latest multi-faceted pots were made from numerous slabs of clay, shaped and assembled in a spontaneous and intuitive way. This process meant that the forms couldnt be planned beyond loose ideas about scale, proportion and complexity. These vessels with their composition of broad, sweeping planes and layers of color can be seen as landscape, painting or sculpture. Lighting on t

NEW YORK, NY
.- Barry Stone is presenting a series of photographs in an exhibition entitled Drift in the main gallery at Klaus von Nichtssagend January 15 through February 21. This new work emanated from a car accident Stones family survived while on a summer road trip from their home in Austin, Texas to Bailey Island, Maine.
In addition to smashing the family car, the crash caused a portfolio of Stones photographs taken the previous summer to scatter across the highway. Despite this harrowing encounter, Stone at once began photographing the scene of the accident, and as the family resumed their journey north, he continued to take pictures of their trip.

The Thomas T. Taber Museum will display the still life painted by Severin Roesen shown here.
The Thomas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society is acquiring another Severin Roesen painting. The painting has been loaned by Bobby Maguire in honor of his parents, Jim and Shirley Maguire, according to a news release.
It is Bobby Maguire’s intention to turn the loan into a permanent gift within the year.
“We are so thrilled to receive this loan from Mr. Maguire. His generosity and kindness is beyond measure thanks to him all of our visitors will be able to view the beauty of Roesen’s work,” said Gary Parks, museum director, according to a news release. “Many folks within Lycoming County appreciated his work but it was not until Jacqueline Kennedy outfitted the White House with two Roesens that his talent was more fully appreciated by our country.”
Sadly, the Depression-era photos, film clips, and stories in Michael Uys and Lexy Lovellâs â
Riding the Railsâ (1998) donât seem much different from those of todayâs victims of a pandemic and a failed economy.
Inspired by Thomas Minehanâs 1934 book, âBoy and Girl Tramps of America,â Uys solicited letters from those who had survived that experience. He received over 3,000 replies.
He and Lovell narrowed these subjects down to 10 men and women â then in their 70s and 80s â who recall the thrill and misery of jumping freight cars, fleeing the brutal railroad police nicknamed âbulls,â enjoying the mixed hospitality of hobo settlements called âjunglesâ where girls sold themselves for 50 cents and you might be killed for your shoes, travelling across the country from one harvest to the next, and hitching rides heading nowhere. One poignantly relates the utter loneliness felt when dropped off by a driver on a cold nigh

With most national touring acts still grounded, local venues have turned to local and regional artists to perform on their stages. Fortunately Texas has a lot to offer. Among those cycling through town is singer-songwriter Patrice Pike, who made her name in the ‘90s with Sister 7 before striking out on her own as a solo artist. In recent years she reunited with her old Sister 7 bandmate, guitarist Wayne Sutton as Pike & Sutton. The collaboration produced fruit, as the two released “Heart Is a Compass” last year before a pandemic shut down their tour schedule.
