Art Beat: ‘Passion for Colour’ exhibit at Southold Historical Society
“A Passion for Colour,” an exhibit of original art by Mac Titmus and Christopher Alexander, will be on display June 3 to 14 at Southold Historical Society’s Cosden-Price Gallery in the Reichert Family Center on Main Road. A reception will be held Friday, June 6, from 5 to 7 p.m.
According to a release, the artists employ “saturated color, lyrical movement, forceful line and complex imagery.” Mr. Titmus, a specialist in abstract digital collage, digital painting and fine art imagery, presents visions that “seek your personal interpretation.” Mr. Alexander is a self-taught painter whose process developed naturally and who draws inspiration from the work of O’Keefe, Kandinsky and Picasso.
• North Fork artist Ellen Weiner and poet LB Thompson will be featured in “Forest Mirror Ink Page” from May 31 to July 6 at Art Sites Gallery in Riverhead.
The artists’ collaborations “Longhand Forest & Fibonacci Monstrosity” and “Cabinet With Cards & Poems in the Suit of Diamonds” are part of the “playful and interactive” installation. In “Longhand Forest,” “words and images reel together … [in a] design based on the Fibonacci sequence,” a specific sequence of numbers. The “Cabinet With Cards” painting is surrounded by 13 poems; together they “interrogate the curious economics and ethics of the material world.”
The display includes a fieldbook and boxed deck of cards based on the exhibit. The show will open with a reception Saturday, May 31, from 5 to 8 p.m. with a reading at 6.
