Mike Wright & Paul Kelly
\n8-21 July 2016<\/h2>\n

Provincetown sculptor Mike Wright, who creates abstract assemblages of found painted wood, is a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant winner. Wright presents two new series of interlocking hanging sculptures, \u201cThings in Common\u201d and \u201cTides”. Says Wright, \u201cThe point of using found wood is that, as debris, it seems unpromising. But that lack of promise is also its appeal–the peeling paint, the colour scrubbed by salty waves, sand or human use. My principal parameter is that the wood must be found in Provincetown. The second is not to paint that wood, because its patina is impossible to duplicate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Kelly began his \u201cAbove It\u201d series of oil paintings based on the bird\u2019s-eye view of Provincetown provided by Google Earth. Kelly continues to explore the edges of abstraction in his landscapes, refining colour and brushstroke and morphing lines and perspectives.<\/p>\n
