Monday, February 2, 2009 REVIEW: NVAA Annual Juried Members Show
Bryan Memorial Gallery, Jeffersonville
February 1 – March 15, 2009
by Janet Van Fleet
The Northern Vermont Artist Association (NVAA) is an artist membership organization with a long history; NVAA had its first exhibit in 1930. For many years NVAA has had an annual members show at the Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville. This year, the gallery has mounted two big NVAA shows – a historical exhibition of NVAA members’ work in the front gallery, and the annual juried members show in the rear gallery (see image at left).The Bryan Memorial Gallery is an institution that focuses on work by (and like) its founders, Alden and Mary Bryan, and their contemporaries – primarily Vermont landscapes, still lifes, and genre paintings.
Such works predominate in the annual members exhibit, with a few notable exceptions, the first and foremost being three Aesthetic Machines by Robert W. Brunelle, Jr., the NVAA’s President.Brunelle is known for his highly-saturated acrylic paintings, and as I stood in front of Aesthetic Machine 1 I imagined that bits of one of his paintings had flown off the canvas, KAZOWW, appropriated a third dimension, ZOOP, and KACHINK, assembled themselves into these delightful, compact visual operas. You can even change the scene by turning knobs and cranks that are marked with a small pinhead. But of course such things don’t really happen by magic or intergalactic artmaking, and while he was waiting to participate in a Roundtable before the opening reception, Brunelle revealed that he cuts the elements of these amusing machines from foamcore, and that he got the templates for the gears ( on the backside of Machine1) online...

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE ~ BASIN HARBOR, VT!

Robert is going to be part of this program for summer 2008. Click here to see Basin Harbor, when you arrive at their site click Video Tour on left for a nice intro.
“Reflections on Basin Harbor” is an innovative program which links the beauty of Basin Harbor’s environs with the talents of Vermont artists, and gives the resulting works exposure to a wide audience that delights in the results.

The program was begun when Basin Harbor celebrated its Centennial in 1986. The Beach family wanted to commemorate the event but could not agree on an artist, let alone the subject matter which should be selected. Instead, we invited a number of Vermont artists to come and stay at the resort that spring as our guests, to create works which were exhibited at the end of summer. The family selected a painting from the show, and guests enthusiastically snapped up many others. It was such a popular event that the juried 10-day show has become a tradition at the end of summer, beginning each year 10 days prior to Labor Day.

For a listing of the 2008 artists, click here.The dates for the show are August 23 - September 1, Noon - 4 daily.
