Something for Everyone @ the Spatial Relations Exhibit

David Hyland has 6 large scale photographs of everyday places like a wet road, a beach cottage or pile of sand. Each image has a strong relationship to the earth/ground. He is also showing 7 three dimensional works of cement, steel, wood and paper. They are twisted, tumbling and "transparent" houses.

Steve Grobis seems to celebrate the 1970's with his four found object sculptures. He combines avocado green sink and an explosion of cables and wires in one piece that hangs on the wall. He stops the viewer in his tracks with orange and gold carpet that sits on the floor and flanks an old orange philco refrigerator door. Anther piece features a harvest gold high chair and red light.

Andrea Panaro shows off her wide range of interests. She is exhibiting 3 woodblock prints entitled "Plane Exploding" and 8 acrylic paintings. The paintings have an earthy feel to them. Some are abstracted figures and other seem to have the forms of rocks or stone. Andrea varies the size of her canvas but keeps the color palate very similar. http://www.necc.mass.edu/

Reception with the Artists- Andrea Panaro, Steve Grobis and David Hyland

Andrea Panaro, Steve Grobis and David Hyland - respond to Spatial Relations

October at the ArtSpace will feature the work of three recent graduates of Montserrat College of Art, Andrea Panaro, Steve Grobis and David Hyland, beginning Sept 27, through October 25, 2008. This show is free and open to the public. The exhibit is entitled “Spatial Relations” and will include sculpture, painting, printmaking and photography. All three artists put a large emphasis on the importance of space, whether it be in reference to the picture plane or that of a 3-D sculpture that requires a change of environment to be understood.

Andrea Panaro an NECC alumni, is a mixed media artist, whose work deals mainly with abstraction.

David Hyland works with objects in the landscape in his large-scale photographs. davidhylandstudio.com
