Adam Cohn has been creating, designing, and telling visual stories for most of his life. Born in Pennsylvania, he’s lived and worked all over the US and in many parts of the globe. For the past 10 years, he has made Marblehead his home. Always inspired by the emotion, communication, and connection of the ocean, his recent linear seascapes capture the hypnotic graphic frequencies seen in the movement of water, and apply them to the skies, earth, and objects as well.

Adam studied Graphic Design at Penn State University where he built a strong foundation in conceptual creative problem solving and the craft of design and making. After owning a small studio in Washington DC, he went on to work at Nike and Converse for over 2 decades. There, he led storytelling and creative efforts in Brand Identity, Advertising, Retail Design, Product Marketing, Digital, Social Media, Events and Experiences, and Packaging. During meetings and brainstorm sessions, we would often focus on his work by doodling parallel, wavy lines in notebooks. His current work blends many years of mesmerizing form making with a love for the patterns and waves found in nature.

This is Cohn’s first exhibition at Gladstone.

Charles Norris is a relief printmaker, photographer, architect and urban designer who divides his time between Cambridge, MA and Popham Beach, ME. His interests in photography and watercolor painting evolved throughout design school and have continued in his personal artwork and professional practice. 

Architecture, planning, photography, painting and printmaking have all merged as interrelated passions of the artist, with the camera’s eye frequently serving as a vital window and common denominator in the creative process. Since 2010, Norris has immersed himself in the art of woodblock printmaking at Abrazos Studio in Somerville MA, where he prepares and inks the plates, pulling his prints on a hand press. His current body of work reinterprets his photographic compositions into graphic woodcuts, often focusing on his key sources of inspiration — shifting tidal patterns and marine environments. 

The artist’s woodblock prints have been selected for multiple juried shows including the Boston Printmakers Biennial (2015 and 2017), Danforth Museum, Maud Morgan Chandler Gallery, Lunder Gallery at Lesley University, Deitrich Gallery at C7A, Maynard ArtSpace, Falmouth Artists Guild, Gallery Twist, and Concord Art. Norris has also exhibited prints at Sotheby’s in Damariscotta and the Green Lion Gallery in Bath on the Maine coast. He recently presented a lecture on his nautical prints and conducted a woodcut workshop at the Maine Maritime Museum in conjunction with Broadside, an exhibit of prints as reflections of Maine’s marine heritage.

Rhythm & Blues depicts and abstracts the graphic nature of New England’s tidal rhythms. The rippled and fluid patterns come alive and reverberate across the room. 

This is Norris’s first exhibition at Gladstone.

From the moment Margaret Lampert first picked up a camera she had an innate ability to put her subjects at ease. As she looks through the lens, Margaret is always watching and waiting for a moment; a lived-in moment the viewer can sense as honest and true. “Through these moments I endeavor to tell a story, ask a few questions and draw the viewer in. I’ve begun to realize the power of these moments comes from my own desire to connect; to create some sort of relationship between myself, the camera and my subject.” It is this ‘relationship’ between photographer and subject that sets Margaret apart. Perhaps most importantly, it is this connection that allows her to consistently identify and capture moments of pure human experience in which we find a thread of our own story. 

When the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, most of us began sheltering in place. Stuck inside, our only view of the world was through our windows. While most people were inside looking out, I ventured out to look in. Given the inherent risks of exposure to the virus and the constraints of social distancing, I returned to a way of working I had fallen in love with over the years: making portraits through various surfaces. This approach enables me to tell a richer, more layered story, often incorporating both the inside and outside of a subject’s environment. There is something about the mysterious and painterly qualities inherent when one shoots ‘through’ windows or screens that feels timeless and seemed to effectively capture the experience of living through a pandemic when time was so indistinct and our lives felt somewhat suspended. Spending time with my subjects, even though always at a distance, was a bright spot in an otherwise dark and uncertain time.

Gladstone is pleased to present The Space Between, a compelling selection of work from Margaret’s Covid project.

ARTIST’S RECEPTION Saturday, February 29, 4-6pm

Amy Furman attended Massachusetts College of Art and graduated in 1975 with a B.F.A. in painting. During the summers of her sophomore and junior years, she studied with James Gahagan, a former student of Hans Hoffman, in Vermont. This experience led her to the decision to become a painter.

In 1978 she earned a M.Ed. in Art and Expressive Therapies from Lesley College and began a professional career as an art/recreational therapist, continuing on to teaching art at private and public schools and art education at Wheelock College.

Inspired by the work of Hans Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, and the school of Abstract Expressionism, Furman’s action paintings are bold, fluid and reflective of nature’s colors, rhythms, and sounds.

Amy resides in Needham, MA and currently works full time as an artist.

RECEPTION Saturday, October 5, 4-6pm

"I paint nature, since it is an inexhaustible source of inspiration."

Zufar Bikbov’s passion for oil painting and the dynamic nature of the plein air art form has led him to avidly explore the American landscape for over a decade. 

A native of Russia, Zufar was influenced by his father’s unrealized dream to become a professional artist in Stalin era post WWII Soviet Union. Zufar trained from the age of nine at Zelenodolsk Youth Art School in Kazan in the Russian realism tradition. He embraces experimentation in his artwork and today his landscape painting style exhibits elements of both realism and impressionism.

As a young adult, Bikbov’s desire to help others led him to embark on a career in medicine. During his years in medical school and residency, art remained an important constant in his life. He was honored to participate in the 2002 exhibit, Doctors Paint, at the State Museum of Fine Arts in Kazan, Russia where he made a connection which ultimately brought him to Yale to further his medical studies. He relocated to the United States in 2004 and continued to work in the medical field through 2016, painting and participating in plein air competitions all the while.

Zufar became a full-time artist and art teacher in 2017. He teaches painting in studio and online at the www.confidentartist.com. 

Bikbov is the recipient of multiple prestigious plein air awards at national competitions of juried artists. This is the second year he will be competing in the Cape Ann Plein Air competition and festival, October 6 - 14. www.capeannpleinair.com. He was the recipient of the Second Place Award at Cape Ann Plein Air 2018. 

The artist’s work is represented in private collections throughout the United States – from New England to California – as well as the UK, Spain, and of course, Russia.

Joel Janowitz is a master of technique, form, and color. This exhibition of work on paper presents intaglio prints, monotypes, and watercolor paintings.  Focusing on the theme of Venetian footbridges and canals, Janowitz explores the simple yet dramatic architecture of bridge structures and descending steps that intersect and coexist with abstract forms of shadow and reflection. 

“Over much of my career as an artist, my work has addressed my curiosity about the emotive and psychological potentials of pictorial space. I have worked on numerous series, each of which delved into a different kind of spatial structure and the potentials of that structure to carry meaning. Some of my work has explored perspectival space and offered a sense of anticipation and inevitability. In other pieces layered space suggested the known, the less known, and the unknowable. My interest in visual space has extended to a fascination with the nature of perception itself and how we unconsciously build a coherent sense of the world from visual fragments, along with memory, feeling, and prior experience.”

Janowitz has taught Art at numerous colleges including Wellesley College, Massachusetts College of Art, School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and Harvard University. He has also been an instructor and mentor to a great many fellow artists through art workshops across the nation.

Joel has exhibited his work widely through solo and group exhibitions in New York and the Boston area since 1973. His artwork has been collected by many museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Brooklyn Museum, DeCordova Museum, Farnsworth Art Museum, Harvard Museums, and Museum of Fine Arts/Boston. In 2016, he received his fourth Artist’s Fellowship in painting from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. In 2013 Janowitz was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship.

Dale Goffigon’s photographs are dreamy architectural portraits of old world elegance. These are powerful glimpses of light, color, texture, and form, frequently of forgotten spaces. She layers her fascinating travel experiences onto her background in textiles and weaving, sharing views that range from decay to opulence. All is bound together by the artist’s sensitive ability to frame and capture haunting beauty. 

Goffigon’s work has been published in The Redstone Book of the Eye and Connecticut Cottages & Gardens. She studied at Parsons School of Design, the International Center of Photography and the Center for Alternative Photography in New York.

I am drawn to document architecture, interiors and gardens that represent a wide span of centuries. I look to represent both the classical motifs and the beauty that is found in distressed and decaying structures. The formality of much of the work is guided by the desire for a sense of order and the isolated fragments are abstractions that offer up an element of surprise. - DG

Husband and wife, Christopher and Esther Pullman, both trained as graphic designers, but now are working in different media. While their work does not appear to have commonality, they both are dealing with the overlooked and under-appreciated leftovers of the world around us. Esther frames elegant compositions found in the hum-drum geometry of the streetscape while Christopher is drawn to the complex engineering of crab parts the seagulls leave behind on the beach. Both look closely at small details and find beauty in something most people pass by without notice.

Opening Saturday, December 2, 4-6pm

As admirers and collectors of Rockport artist George Anderson’s work for the past twenty odd years, we are very pleased to be showing his rich modernist portrayals of Gloucester fishermen at work. George’s well-developed eye for two dimensional design in advertising is evident in his mastery of composition and color in the powerfully graphic paintings. His flat outlined figures and their ubiquitous large gloved hands bring an anonymity, strength, and nobility to his subjects.

Emerson wrote, "It is in the doing that you gain the power." As an artist, this quotation has great significance to me. It has encouraged me to paint when it seemed impossible. Painting the same subject over and over and gaining a rapport with the canvas has instilled in me a power and an inner strength which I believe is inherent in my work.

I was born in Montreal, Canada in 1931. I attended commercial art school in Quebec and became a member of the Art Federation of Canada. As a young man I worked as a display artist and later became an art director with a major Canadian publisher. In 1967, I formed G. Anderson Advertising in Montreal. The agency grew and expanded with offices in Montreal, Toronto and Brussels. 

Throughout my career, I have always been involved with art direction. In 1981, I moved with my family from Montreal to Exeter, New Hampshire. Two years later, I sold the agency to the employees to work on a new career in fine art. The agency has since been sold to D.D.B. Advertising and is called Anderson D.D.B. (Toronto, New York, Montreal and California).

Over the past 20 years I have worked daily on my career as a fine artist. I have had group and solo exhibitions of my paintings, including:

iartcolony, Rockport 

Noho Gallery, New York

Jules Gallery, Boston

Rockport Art Association

Judi Rotenberg Gallery, Boston

Field Gallery, Martha's Vineyard

Granary Gallery, Martha's Vineyard

Cambridge Gallery, Cambridge, England

First Sight Gallery, Bath, England 

At present, I have studios and galleries in Rockport, Massachusetts, and Portland, Maine.

Opening Saturday, September 16, 4-6pm

My artwork explores flora and fauna with a playful embrace of color and texture across three primary media: painting, printmaking, and drawing.

I seek to capture a sense of freshness and spontaneity in my work and enjoy the sense of discovery in unexpected results. Above all I wish to communicate my sheer wonder at the transient beauty and mystery of nature.

Floribunda is a celebration of the flowers in my garden that have been my inspiration over the past several summers. Roses, butterfly bush (Buddleia), columbine (Aquilegia), lilies, poppies, Japanese painted fern - all their varied forms and beautiful colors have informed my artwork. The rose series is monotype in oil on 100% rag paper. I used several stencils for the outline shape of the roses. I enjoyed experimenting with how little information I could put down and still have the image read as "flower".

Opening Saturday, May 27, 4-7pm

This exhibition looks at two distinctive shapes of the sea shore: crab claws, part of the non-descript detritus washed up on the beach below our cottage in Annisquam; and the ungainly hulks of trawlers and tugs hauled up on the drydocks in Gloucester. Each is seen unnaturally. 

The claws are unsettlingly large but at the scale their sculptural forms and subtle colors can be admired and their engineering understood, when before they were just unexceptional flotsum. The big work-boats are similarly out of their element, oddly levitating and worringly top-heavy. 

While the claws are small things seen big, the boats are big things seen small. For the painter, the closer we look the more detail we see and can depict. The reverse happens as we miniaturize: the smaller the scale, the more the tools force us to generalize and find the essential form. In each case, the activity involves looking closely at things, and often, looking at familiar things in a different way.

These paintings are affectionate portraits of the humble tuber in its more flamboyant state, forgotten but lively, in the back of the cupboard.

Since 2011, I have periodically recorded these finds. I first draw them in conté or graphite to discover just the right pose, and then paint them in oil on 20” x 16” panels. After a while I tried rendering them even larger, where their fascinating patina and decorative appendages can be appreciated even more. Seeing something small blown up to an unnatural size has always interested me, like the gigantic 17th century flea engraved by Robert Hooke.

These portraits have mostly been painted in my studio, in winter, when I take a break from my habit of painting the rocks (outside, in watercolor) along the shore of Cape Ann, north of Boston, where we have a cottage. Friends have mentioned the strange similarity of these boulders, deposited on the beach by the retreating glaciers, to the potato, and I must admit there is something familiar about their form. But the potatoes have a charm and amusing persona that I just don’t see in the rocks. 

For years I resisted showing these potatoes outside my studio because I liked watching them grow as a family of related shapes and personalities. Elaine and Charles, the proprietors of Gladstone Jewelry and Gallery, have finally twisted my arm to go public.

Opening Friday, June 3, 5-8pm

We are pleased to present Stone Wave, an exhibit of Cape Ann quarry images by photographer and historian, Leslie Bartlett.

These abandoned deep water pools with emerging stone walls were created through the back-breaking labor of local granite quarrymen from the mid 19th century through the 1930s.  Bartlett happens upon these manmade stonescapes, overtaken by nature, and perceives them as a gift and a meditation, “a presence defined by absence”.  His work is done after the manner of Shi Tao, a 17th century Chinese landscape painter; the artist’s name translates to Stone Wave, hence the tile of this show. 

" I do not dare to lay claim to these images as mine.

Worthy only as I relinquish the cloak of ownership,

I bow before the resilient elements...taking up for myself,

the courtesy name of ‘Stone Wave.’ "

Evan Lindquist is an award winning Master Engraver and one of the few late twentieth century American printmakers working in the medium of copper plate engraving. Lindquist is the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of American Graphic Artists and his work is represented in major museum collections in the United States and abroad. A longtime professor of printmaking, Lindquist is now a full-time artist, living and working in Jonesboro, Arkansas. We are honored to be exhibiting this selection of engravings which celebrate the calligraphic line.

Opening Friday, August 14, 5-8pm

I use oil paint, graphite on mylar, ink on paper, gouache, and acrylic-painted paper collage to invent images from observation and imagination. The work relies on thematically related subjects to create pictures within established genres of florals, still-life, interiors, figure, and landscape.

My interest in art history is equally as strong as my practice in visual art.  The Romantic movement in Europe and Chinese ink painting are primary touchstones of my aesthetic and philosophic concerns. Their material qualities illuminate my creative process in spite of the contrary omnipresent technological and economically globalized modern era.

By engaging with the intersection between realms of history, dream, and contemporary life, my work in art embodies archaic gestures as a personal act that manifests the act of looking.

YOKOHAMA & MEIJI ERA PRINTS

The opening of Japan to Western trade in the 1860s and the reformation of Japanese society in the Meiji Era are revealed through this collection of 19th century Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The marvels of a new industrial world and the cultural contrasts of East and West are visually and historically intriguing. Please join us to view this impressive group of prints that document a pivotal moment in Japan's past.

Opening Friday, May 15, 5-8pm

In this new work Diane studies and abstracts the patterns in butterfly wings.  “I am captivated by the underlying structure, patterns, and unexpected vivid colors in nature’s wings, set in a world of flickering light, elusive movement, deceptive camouflage, and delicate beauty. I am also intrigued by the underlying purpose of patterns in butterflies. Patterns echo dappled light and shade to confuse a predator.  Bright complementary colors serve to distract the eye.  Peacock jewel patterns or vivid blue stripes can hide a true outline. Eyespots distract birds and fake swallowtails steer predators away from vital parts.”

These extraordinarily powerful images explode with color and pattern, and capture the velveteen surfaces of butterfly wings. The series is a beautiful celebration of Spring and the emergence of new life! 

Coordinating with the theme, and with a nod to vintage butterfly wing jewelry, we will be presenting our new signature rock crystal and gold locket with natural butterfly wing interiors.

Diane Charyk Norris is a visual artist of environmental spaces. As a landscape painter influenced by a background in waterfront planning and architecture, she works in acrylics, oils, inks, charcoal, watercolor, printmaking, and photography.

The phenomenon of patterns in water and ice offers insight into geometries found in nature.  This collection of paintings, monotypes, and drawings explores changing tidelines, coastal underwater reflections, and retreating glaciers to identify timeless patterns of vast elemental space.  

In the tideline paintings, the systemic network of channels in tide flats at the mouth of a river and rocky tidal coves shapes a dialogue between sky, water, and land.  My response is made of interconnected marks, blended light, and color passages to invite contemplation and exploration beyond the surface.

In the monotypes, I have drawn the underlying structure of tessellation patterns in underwater reflections to create a vast sense of space and context for playful overlays of transparent inks.  

In the charcoal drawings, the tracking of a river of ice is traced as it flows from the snow fields at the top to the bottom valleys.  Glaciers appear static, but have tremendous power as they quietly ooze downhill.  The ink drawings explore the marking of these tracks with natural ink flow and animation of the white spaces between. 

In watching and painting these subjects, I find stillness and quiet in the midst of extraordinary energy and movement and contemplate changes we are facing on the New England coast with deep respect.  I invite the viewer to enjoy these watery worlds and ponder on the forces that shape them.
