Meera Thompson’s new paintings offer a meditation on the mutability of the passing moment. Each image sweeps visitors into unfolding dramas. Dynamic brush strokes evocative of crashing waves, swirling clouds, fleeting shadows, and rustling breezes testify to the presence of unseen powers. While the action in the pictures may appear to play out in the air and in the water, more contemplative intimations of force and change await the responsive viewer. Close inspection suggests that Thompson is laying bare the deliberative nature of painting. All lines, shapes and colors embody decisions and to recognize them is to participate in their attendant doubt and desire. In essence, Thompson’s sensuous abstractions are an invitation to look inward and “weather whether.”

Atlantic Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Phyllis Chillingworth, titled “CURRENTS”. These paintings capture the impressions and rhythms of her recent travels to Nova Scotia, Cape Cod and Montana. The waterfalls, rocks, tide and endless space become symbols of the currents of life, our moods and our internal navigations.
