William Hemmerdinger: The Duxbury Merchant<\/em>
\n7 July-28 August 2016<\/h2>\n

Using a wide variety of historical, painterly, photographic and even whimsical styles to express particular world-views, The Duxbury Merchant<\/em>\u00a0offers a highly personalized visual narrative on topics ranging from family, history, and friendship to the connection to nature, to protecting personal space, and to belonging.<\/p>\n

The Duxbury Merchant<\/em> is a monumentally-scaled modernist sculpture in the shape of a ship model, telling a sweeping story, both a personal and family history. The work\u00a0is made up of over 100,000 small components, collected by the artist from a wide range of sources worldwide. Initially, observers will note the artist\u2019s references to his own life, but then there are clearly narratives about a broader history that we all share–the story of our founding immigrants and seagoing merchants from the 17th century, and the legacy they have left.<\/p>\n

\"duxbury-merchant-detail-3\"<\/p>\n

This will be the first-ever installation of The Duxbury Merchant<\/em>, a decades-long personal and passionate project for the artist.<\/p>\n

William Hemmerdinger<\/a> is a Cape-Cod-based artist who is internationally recognized for both his art production and his art writing. A painter, sculptor, and printmaker, he has works in the permanent collections of many public and private institutions, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Getty Research Institute, and the National Library of Canada, Ottawa. A Los Angeles Times<\/em> review has called him \u201ca serious modern painter building upon and expanding a vocabulary of abstract imagery begun in the 1970s.\u201d<\/p>\n
