Our personal environments are powerful factors in our well-being. For Maine artist Bernard Langlais (1921–1977), the physical and emotional effects of place unify his creations, from expressionistic landscape paintings to giant wooden lions. Presenting works that span the artist’s thirty-year career, Bernard Langlais: Live and Let Live considers the intertwined nature of Langlais’s art and his various living and working environments. Using original and re-created architectural elements from his Maine houses and studios, the installation will evoke these environments and…
Concerned with acts both of construction and deconstruction, painter Annabeth Marks’ work forces a consideration of the boundaries of painting in both process and form.

Constructed from unexpected combinations of handmade and found objects, Allison Wade’s tenuous sculptural works consider the intersection of flatness and form. Her practice relies heavily on balance and tension to explore the structural contingencies of where, and how, elements meet. These formal explorations shape Wade’s singular, idiosyncratic visual language, one that investigates the play between two and three dimensions and the connection between spatial and social relationships. Wade’s process is closely allied with language and writing. Using a grammatical approach…
