Art Exhibition: David R. Jones-See the Everyday in an Abstract way – Landscapes of the US, France and England at the Kittery Community Center

Kittery Community Center 120 Rogers Road, Kittery, ME

The Morgan Gallery at the Kittery Community Center is looking forward to exhibiting the works of David R. Jones, beginning with a reception on September 12 from 5:30 pm until 7:30 pm.
 
David R. Jones is an internationally renowned impressionist artist currently residing in Methuen, Massachusetts. He was born in North Wales, moved to England, then Paris, France, where he had his first show of Indian ink and brush paintings. His love for creating unique paintings finally came full circle in 2007, when he met international award winning artist, Sharon Morley, APS, who encouraged him to add color to his Indian ink works. David is a full-time artist and is president of the Methuen based Art Institute Group of the Merrimack Valley, and since 2018 has hosted a monthly “Art in the Studio” show at MCS.
 
Since 2017 David’s work has been shown in galleries around the world, including Paris France,  Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, Brussels, Cologne and Aix-en-Provence. He has won several awards including the Toile D’Or De L”Annee 2015 by the Federation Nationale de la Culture Francaise for his 40” x 30” oil on canvas “Ten Years Before” and his work has been published in multiple international art books. He recently had a solo show of his oil paintings “Abstracts of the Common Place - Landscapes of Europe & the United States” in May and June, 2023, at the Ayer Lofts Gallery in Lowell, MA. He was part of the collective show at the Galerie Beaute Du Matin Calme in June 2024 and is scheduled to have a show in Tokyo in September, 2024, in parallel with his Morgan Gallery show at the Kittery Community Center beginning Thursday Sept 12, 2024.
 
The exhibit will feature paintings of landscapes from the US, France and England each with his own unique impressionistic approach and style.” My paintings reflect my feelings about the places I have visited, or the emotion I have experienced” he explained.

“things we lost in the:The Legacy of St. Amelia’s College of Speculative Timbre" is a captivating art exhibition set within a unique historical narrative. The guest curator is mid-coast Maine poet, artist and musician Colin Cheney; it opens on October 3 and will be on view through November 1, 2024. This exhibition invites visitors to explore a blend of contemporary artwork and thought-provoking historic artifacts inspired by the fictional St. Amelia’s College of Speculative Timbre. A number of artist talks, musical events, and performances will occur throughout the show’s tenure.

Inspired by works such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Primitive and The Museum of Jurassic Technology, guest curator Cheney creates a superfictional space where reality and fiction complicate each other. The fictional St. Amelia’s College, which was destroyed in a fire in 1996 in rural Vermont, was a sanctuary for artists exploring unconventional art, sound, and ecological studies.

“things we lost in the” features a wide variety of artworks, including paintings, photography, sculpture, and time-based video and sound art. The exhibition highlights the talents of nineteen local and international artists, including Khaila Batts, Rita Bernstein, Jordan Carey, Aminata Conteh, Epiphany Couch, Maung Day, Fadl Fakhouri, Shaina Gates, Dana Guth, Jenny Ibsen, Marcus Jackson, Lokotah Sanborn, Adam Rosenblatt, Kalyn Pavliniç, Martin Pavliniç, Kenny Shapiro, Juria Toramae, Andrew Tosiello and Zizou Zou.

Each artwork will be accompanied by text providing lyric insights into the artist’s vision and their connection to the myth of St. Amelia’s. Additionally, the exhibition includes “artifacts” from the college, such as a disassembled pump organ, burnt timbers, archival files, and scientific apparatuses. While some artifacts will be identified, others will invite visitors to contribute their own stories.
