Reception for "Beyond the Garden: New Paintings" by Nan Hass Feldman

Framingham artist Nan Hass Feldman's new show, entitled The Garden and Beyond: New Paintings,  will be at Fountain Street Fine Art from APRIL 10 – MAY 4, 2014. A Reception will be held April 12, 5 – 7PM as well as an Artist Talk and Poetry Reading with Alan Feldman on May 3, 5 – 7PM. You can see examples of Nan's work HERE. A press release with complete details and a few jpeg images are also attached. We will be installing the show this week, let us know if you'd like to visit and preview the show on Wednesday or Thursday.

Inspiration for these new paintings comes from the artist’s recent experiences on the Greek island of Skopelos and in the jungle area of Boca de Tomatlan, Mexico. Nan Hass Feldman’s paintings evoke a child-like joy, and yet a more sophisticated appreciation of the possibilities of seeing a subject endlessly – through vibrant color, pattern, texture, and imagination.

Nan Hass Feldman’s paintings, whether oil, acrylic, or mixed media, are stylized, yet recognizable, and vibrantly colorful. Often intricate, playful, enlivening and upbeat, her work focuses on the subjects of interiors and landscapes.

Prolific and accomplished Framingham painter Nan Has Feldman has had countless solo exhibitions throughout her distinguished career.  Her work is in numerous corporate and university collections, as well as in the collections of the Danforth Museum and in private collections in France, England, Italy, Spain, Japan, and Sweden. She teaches at Danforth Art and the Worcester Art Museum, as well as in Europe and Mexico, and paints in her studio at Fenway Studios in Boston.

In conjunction with the exhibit, a Poetry Reading with Alan Feldman, along with a talk by the artist, will be held May 3, from 5 – 7 PM. Alan Feldman, an award-winning poet, will read from his newly published chapbook Flowers in Wartime, a collection of 28 short poems written during the opening months of the Iraq war. A signed limited edition of Flowers in Wartime , illustrated with six paintings by Nan Hass Feldman, will be available for purchase,  with all proceeds to benefit the scholarship fund at Danforth/Art.
