We're excited to continue our quest to showcase local artists living and working in the communities around where we work and play. This month stop by the Cambridge Circle Furniture showroom to see the beautiful and inspiring artwork of local artist Diane Novetsky.
"Diane Novetsky is an abstract painter of lyrical landscapes that combine a sensuous, textural surface with striking luminosity and depth. Her work evolves intuitively from dreams, half-forgotten memories, and fleeting glimpses of everyday life.
Dianes paintings are built up in layers–like the strata of the earth–using a variety of acrylic based mediums, which echo the gritty qualities of natural sand and stone. Some of her work employs the motif of an intimate landscape to explore the ephemeral nature of life. The beauty of shifting light, the passage of time and the elusiveness of memory come into play in her recent series of highly textural paintings.
The landscape motif is also a meditation on our quest for the spiritual. “My hope is that the viewer can follow me in my creative/spiritual journey, observing and finding beauty in some of the signs and landmarks I have left along the way.”
Diane is a founding member of the Brickbottom Artists Building in Somerville, MA, one of the oldest living and working artists communities in the country. She works out of the Vernon Street Studios, also in Somerville. Diane is a regular participant in the yearly Brickbottom and Somerville Open Studios events. Her work is included in many corporate and private collections throughout the region."
Now I know what I'm going to do this snowy weekend; break out my watercolors and see what transpires. A little cocoa, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies (ok, store bought I have to admit) and I'm good to go. What are you going to do this weekend?
