The five artists in SATURATED play with density of forms, colors and materials- these works are the antithesis of minimal; one could say that many of these works lean towards “horror vacui”, a Latin phrase describing a fear of, or aversion to, empty space. The complexity and richness on display in these paintings creates a positive and vivid pulsing awareness—the visual equivalent of a shot of caffeine or adrenaline to engage the mind and the soul.

PLUSH at Montserrat Galleries, Beverly, Mass.
July 15 - October 14, 2024
PLUSH is a group exhibition that explores references to and uses of stuffed toys in a range of artistic practices that extend beyond contexts of childhood. Through a variety of media, including sculpture, assemblage, mixed media, and photography, the participating artists transform reclaimed and fabricated objects to convey a range of human emotions. Turning away from the idea of the stuffed toy as merely a ‘toy’, these plush objects become charged metaphors exploring love and attachment, becoming surrogates, comfort items, and tangible manifestations of joy or sorrow. The exhibition aims to consider how we form attachments to these objects and what their softness evokes within us.
Curated by Crow Stevenson, Montserrat Galleries Curatorial Assistant, with Lynne Cooney, Director of Exhibitions and Galleries.
