FEATURED ARTIST: CAROLE BOLSEY
artist's statement
for me painting is gesture with the brush,
action, motion, like drawing,
but more physical and
concrete
superimposed gestures, strokes and stains
coalesce into a field, generating a space.
the composition, the subject matter, the paint
are one.
the action is the painting.
the action has begun elsewhere.
It crosses the canvas,
and is carried by its momentum
out beyond the rectangle.
Carole Bolsey, this year's featured artist, received a BA in Painting from
Bennington College in Vermont after receiving a certificat at l'Ecole des
Beau-Arts in Geneva Switzerland and at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence,
Italy. Since then her work has been exhibited across the United States and
Japan. Her works are on display in public, private, and corporate collections. A
full-time painter, Ms. Bolsey will teach painting at the Rhode Island School of
Design this fall. She was a Lecturer in Architecture/Visual Studies and an
Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Harvard University from 1988-96.
Bolsey will display paintings, installation pieces and sculptures throughout the
reception area.
