January 25th
New exhibit by Kathleen Volp in Johnson Gallery
GUS is pleased to announce the installation of an exhibition by artist Kathleen Volp. Please visit the Glen Urquhart School’s Johnson Gallery (Lower School Building), to view Ms. Volp’s mixed media assemblages and paintings.
Kathleen Volp blends the actual with the abstract. Her mixed media pieces integrate memory and story and are set within pattern and a sense of place. Her work is painted, cobbled, shaped and nailed. Her paintings are richly textured with multiple layers and often include letters and text scrawled into the picture plane.
Volp’s paintings allow for multiple interpretations. Her surfaces are worked and reworked with one layer wandering into the next, creating rich associations and metaphors of our shared existence.
Kathleen received her BA from SUNY/ Empire State College, New York, NY, BA; and later attended Minneapolis College of Art and Design. An educator, Kathleen has taught at the Decordova Museum School, New Art Center in Newton, and the Concord, MA Public Schools. Volp has shown at the Revolving Museum, Concord Art Association, New Art Center, and Artspace, Maynard, and lives in Concord, MA.
The exhibition by Kathleen Volp will run until Spring break.
Glen Urquhart School is located at 74 Hale Street, Beverly Farms, MA.
Gallery hours are Mon-Fri, 9 AM – 4 PM. For information call 978-927-1064.
