Currents & ReCurrents

Image Leave a comment

Last night I attended the latest art reception at Gandee Gallery.  So fun!

The gallery is divided into three sections:  the front room houses the gallery’s contributing artists, the middle room is home to the current exhibition, ReCurrents, and the back room is the art/ceramics studio.

Ceramics are the main attraction but the gallery also sells paintings, notecards, and jewelry.

ReCurrents: Contemporary Ceramics

This past summer, the Gandee Gallery curated Currents in Contemporary Ceramic Art at Featherstone Center for the Arts on Martha’s Vineyard. We are excited to now showcase a select number of ceramic works from this exhibition at the gallery in Central New York. ReCurrents features artists at various career stages, from emerging talents to established artists. Gandee’s curatorial vision brings together artists as diverse as their identities and narratives, creating a rich tapestry of contemporary ceramic expression. . It will be on view through Oct. 12th.

The Gandee Gallery is located at 7846 Main Street, Fabius, New York 13063. They are open 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM Thursday-Saturday and 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM on Sundays. Call (315) 416-6339 for more information.

Nature & Nurture

Image Leave a comment
Anne Clarke, The Heart of the Matter, needlepoint, oil pastel, colored pencil, graphite, 28″ x 23″, $1,500
Anne Clarke, Interior Landscape, 2023, 87″ x 81″, fulled knit wool, cotton, silk, metallic, $6,000

Into the Woods is Anne Clarke’s latest art exhibit. It is currently on display at the Gandee Gallery, 7845 Main Street, Fabius, New York 13063.

This collection reflects her artistic journey – from student to professor and beyond (she will retire next month from her job at Syracuse University). The line quality in her drawings is exquisite. It was her first art love before she ventured into textile territory. Fiber Arts is Clarke’s current jam, incorporating crochet, tatting, felting and needlepoint into delicate creations in wool, silk and cotton. She is also a milliner, having made thousands of hats over the decades.

Anne Clarke, Deer in the Garden, 2014, 44″ x 34″, pieced textiles, $3,000

The energy that travels through her decorative and functional work infuses it with an incandescent spirituality and seems to unite us all in its path. She breathes love into each piece and it’s this positive feeling that allows the viewer to really inhale her depth of character.

This show acts as a retrospective, allowing Clarke to reminisce and re-evaluate her trailblazing path in order to prepare for its next turn.

Into the Woods will be on display through June 23, 2024. Click here for more information.

Anne Clarke, Net Series: 90 Lunches, 2010, 20″ x 20″, fruit stickers, cotton thread, $400
Anne Clarke, Daily Drawings: Peaked Hill Trust Arts and Science Residency, 2019, 10″ x 10″, $100
Anne Clarke, Hats, mixed fibers, all handmade textiles, $90

The difference between this show and any other I have ever been to at a gallery is touch, as in you can pick up the artwork!

The mugs are functional, meant to be used.  Held. Caressed?  Lol  – so of course, you will want to hold the handle in your hand to see if it is comfortable there when you drink your morning coffee, tea, hot chocolate, warm milk etc., etc., etc.!

Jen Gandee owns and operates the Gandee Gallery, which is tucked away in the nook of Fabius, NY in the old hardware store on Main Street.  It is here she lives and breathes art alongside her husband Errol Willett.  She also entertains birthday parties and nights out for friends who want to dabble in pottery making parties, which is GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!

The art exhibit is nearly sold out due largely to internet sales and a great turnout at the opening reception I attended on Saturday night.
