The Bowersock Gallery will officially open its doors January 6
with a Grand Opening and Exhibition, “Recounting Narratives,” an exhibit of
paintings by Meghan Howland, one of “New England’s brightest rising stars,”
with a Florida connection.
“We got a call from a longtime arts journalist that caught
Meghan’s first New Hampshire exhibition. She was astounded by the
twenty-something’s skill and vision, reporting it as equal to a mature,
established artist,” says Steve Bowersock, curator and co owner with Michael
Senger. “We made our trip up to New Hampshire, took one look and signed her
that day. Meghan truly is a standout painter.”
Howland, who currently lives in Maine with family from Florida, is
a contemporary, representational painter, working in oils. Her work is
marked by a dreamlike quality with dissonant notes.
“As we note in her biography, ‘the question of whether something
is safe or dangerous, loving or hateful, is often unexplained in her work,’”
says Bowersock. “’While conveying a situation or mood that is slightly
ambiguous, this makes it up to the viewer to resolve what is happening, creating
an unending range of emotions and possibilities.’”
The Bowersock Gallery is located at 137 East Fourth Avenue in
Mount Dora. It is the company’s second location; the Bowersock gallery is
celebrating its eighth year in Provincetown Mass. It represents over 28
artists, New Hampshire, Maine, and east coast artists, from the traditionally
art-rich seacoast area.
Howland will attend the opening reception on Friday Jan 6, 6 to 8
p.m., at Bowersock Gallery, 137 East Fourth Avenue, Mount Dora. For more
information call 352-729-2415
