The artists, Olive the Giant (Quinn Bryan) and Jaclyn Tomasso, use a range of color, scale, and subject in their painting technique and palette, to delve into the notion of being in the here and now, while also looking with wonderment on what came before and what a new day may bring.</li></ul><ul><li><a href="https://as220.org/" title="https://as220.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">AS220 Main Gallery</a>. The Main Gallery at AS220 presents two exhibits this May. In “Still,” Anthony Medeiros presents a series of expressive paintings conveying untold narratives of grief, confusion and longing. Utilizing practices of collage and iridescent paint, “Still” unveils characters within the works and its viewers. Robert Snowden presents a series of paintings influenced by tribal and skeletal themes. Through a process reflecting on appearances and emotion, “Your Mask” is a product of childlike intuition uncovering the inherent masks that everyone holds.</li></ul><ul><li><a href="https://as220.org/" title="https://as220.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">AS220 Aborn Gallery</a>. At the Aborn Gallery, Madison Emond presents a series of medium-format color images captured during their Fullbright Fellowship in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand, with the Kaiwharawhara stream. “Field Notes from Kaiwharawhara” encourages meaningful connections through psychedelic beauty.</li></ul><ul><li><a href="https://www.riphotocenter.org/" title="https://www.riphotocenter.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RI Center for Photographic Arts</a>. “Behind the Photograph,” explores the role of Artificial Intelligence in image making, asking early adopters of AI based imaging to show what this technology is and what is possible. Through this exhibit, viewers and artists are encourages to embrace AI imaging’s growing presence in our life and explore the concept of “fakes.” In tandem with this exhibit, “Guardians of Arcadia: Jim Bremer,” uses photo illustration to create images of Arcadia, a pastoral paradise and the women guardians who oversee it. Brem’s work focuses on creating something larger than life that provokes wonder about the production process in the viewer.</li></ul> Half of the spots on the tour will always be available (first-come, first-served), completely free, to anyone who shows up on Gallery Night!The other half of the spots are available to reserve in advance via Eventbrite.
