Unique visions explore human interconnectivity through nature at 博彩网站
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Amy H. Carberry Fine Arts Gallery on the Springfield Technical Community College campus presents “SupraNatural” on view Oct. 15-Nov. 15, 2024.
A reception will be held Oct. 26, 1 p.m.- 4 p.m. A “Gallery Talk” with guest curator of “SupraNatural,” Donnabelle Casis, will be held Oct 31, 11 a.m.
“SupraNatural” examines the unseen forces shaping human perception, social narratives and cultural identity as they relate to nature and the world beyond our typical awareness. Curated by Northampton artist Donnabelle Casis, the exhibition brings together works by 11 artists from Massachusetts, New York and North Carolina, elucidating the delicate interplay between the physical world and the unknown in shaping our shared reality.
“I believe we are all connected. Art is a powerful tool for exploring our multifaceted identities while acknowledging our common humanity,” said Casis, artist and curator.
“SupraNatural” embraces the spirit of inquiry through abstraction. Guided by their symbolic, material and conceptual exploration, this group of artists offers unique visions of how nature and the human experience amplify our interconnectivity. Paintings, drawings, sculptures and digital works invite us to ponder narratives and insights and investigate the hidden currents that influence our collective consciousness.
The 11 artists featured in this exhibition are Reed Anderson, Adria Arch, Kim Carlino, Brantner DeAtley, Raishad Glover, Sean Greene, Jai Hart, Vick Quezada and Andrew Zarou, all from Massachusetts. Also featured are Molly Kaderka of North Carolina and LoVid of New York.
Steven Nelson, Interim Dean of the School of Liberal and Professional Studies at 博彩网站, described the gallery as a vital element of the campus that gives a much-needed forum for vibrant reflections of creativity and diverse perspectives. He encouraged students as well as the Springfield area community to visit.
“The upcoming ‘SupraNatural’ exhibit presents an amazing opportunity to think about and discuss how we interact with the world,” Nelson said. “We tend to focus on the human impact on the world around us, but this show highlights how the world acts on us, often without our recognition, in ways that can bring us closer together in our shared experiences. Visiting the Carberry gallery on campus is a valuable experience for the community and our students. Thank you to Professor Peron and Donnabelle Casis for bringing this exhibit to 博彩网站.”
