Upcoming exhibition by Mary Sipp-Green
10.10.08
(WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.) -- The Harrison Gallery will present a solo show of landscape paintings by Mary Sipp-Green from Saturday, November 1 – November 30. The artist will attend the show’s opening reception at the Gallery on Saturday, November 1 from 5 to 7 pm.
Twice each day, at dawn and dusk, nature pauses for just a brief moment while night and day trade places. The darks of night merge with the faint colors of the day. The line between sky and earth is blurred and the landscape becomes hazy. It is at this moment – when the eternal and the transitory converge –that Mary Sipp-Green stops time and paints her sublime landscapes.
Mary Sipp-Green paints the fields and flowering apple orchards along the fabled coast of Normandy in luminous, softly-washed images that envelop the viewer as if in a dream. Her paintings of the French countryside in Pays d’Auge – an area near Le Havre where Monet lived and painted -- are restrained and blurred with a minimum of edge, giving them a sense of infinite serenity. Her colors glow, almost supernaturally. Her compositions infer worldly objects – trees, barns, hedgerows – but where their boundaries begin and end is open to interpretation. In Sipp-Green paintings the skies embrace the earth so gently there are no clear horizons. Her skies – taking up more than half of most of her paintings – are stunning in their enormity. Their colors, understated and muted, are translucent shades of mauve or lavender or orange, colors that appear in the sky only when night and day cross paths. Hanging in those luxuriant skies is a sun or moon, half obscured by mist and clouds, watching over the tranquil scene.
Throughout her works are traces of the artists who have influenced Sipp-Green the most – George Inness, Albert Pinkham Ryder, Joseph Mallord Turner and Mark Rothko.
Sipp-Green, a resident of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, received her training at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. She learned her craft in the studio, painting still lifes and portraits as well as landscapes drawn directly from nature. Over time she became increasingly engaged with the more abstract and spiritual aspects of the landscape and began to pursue a less representational, more expressive style. Critics have called her one of the rare artists who truly witness the world rather than just look at it.
The Harrison Gallery is located at 39 Spring Street in Williamstown, MA. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 10:00 am – 5:30 pm and Sunday from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm. For further information contact the Harrison Gallery at 413 458 1700 or visit the website at www.theharrisongallery.com.
