Isalos Fine Art

The gallery continues to come together, and new artwork arrives almost every day. As much work as it is to hang and rehang art as we try things  out in various places, I love this part of the gallery process. I'll find myself returning again and again to a wall that doesn't seem to work. Then a new painting arrives in the gallery and solves the problem. I keep walking around, just staring. And I love it when I look up from my desk and  I'm almost surprised at how transformed the place is by the newly-hung art.

Richard Aliberti came up from Boston the other day and installed "Diver," a seven-foot high cast bronze and verde antique sculpture in the front window.  

Also in the front window, Farrell Ruppert showed-up to install his "Series 13" forged steel and concrete sculpture.

At Eugene Koch's studio, we chose some ink on panel paintings.  In the next few days I'll be updating photographs of artwork in the artists section of the website. It's a gorgeous day here in Stonington: 70 degrees, sunny, a few visitors in town, but far from crazy-busy. This week, The Fisherman's Friend and Maritime Cafe opened for the season. Local vehicles, anticipating the possibility of actual traffic, have shifted into "tailgate mode," riding hard on the bumpers of anyone with plates from away. The signs are all there: summer is coming.
