SUMMARY:Artist of the Month Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:November Artist of the Month\, Gayle Merrill’s exhibit will run through November 30. Gayle lives in Gloucester\, Virginia\, on the North River. She enjoys painting with the abundance of light in her home studio. Gayle’s oil paintings have an emphasis on light and color. Boats\, landscapes\, water reflections\, flowers and sunlight are her main themes. A strong influence on her work has been Edward Hopper\, whose favorite subject was “to paint sunlight on the side of a house” with some of his main subjects being seascapes and rural landscapes. Also\, the colors and layers of paint that the impressionist\, Claude Monet\, used are important in her work. To view and shop Gayle’s collection online visit https://www.bayschool-arts.com/pages/november-artist-of-the-month-gayle-merrill or visit the Bay School Gallery.

SUMMARY:Altered: Exploring the Artwork of Patrick Andrews
DESCRIPTION:I have learned to look at a piece of material and \,in addition to seeing it for what it was\, seeing what it could become. I believe that is a primary goal of art. To teach us to look past the surface of\, not just a piece of art\, a person or situation\, and see\, not just who or what it is\, but what they or it can become.”\n -Patrick Andrews \nPatrick’s work consists of as many repurposed objects as possible and his work with metal ranges from the whimsical to the traditional. He uses patinas and cut shapes to explore surface\, scale and space in a way that alters his materials into works of poetic beauty. \nHours: Mon 9-1\, Tues-Sat 10-4

SUMMARY:Empty Bowls Charity Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:The Bay School and Hands Across Mathews are excited to be hosting our fourth annual Empty Bowls event. The hand-made bowls are starting to stack up on the shelves at the Bay School and more are being made as we speak.  \nAn incredible assortment of hand-made soups\, breads\, and cookies will be served during the event.  Familiar potters and chefs will be joined by some new hands\, both novice and expert.   \nThis is a ticketed event.  Tickets may be reserved on the Bay School website or purchased at the Bay School starting Thanksgiving week.  All proceeds go directly to Hands Across Mathews\, so cash or check only\, please.  Your $15 ticket gives you a hand-crafted bowl to be treasured or given as a gift; a simple lunch of soup and bread\, to nourish you and remind you of all the empty bowls in the world; and the warm fuzzy feeling of having helped fill your neighbors’ empty bowls here in Mathews.  We will sell as many tickets as we have bowls.  Extra soup may be purchased for $5 a serving\, and additional donations are of course welcome and appreciated. We hope you join us!

SUMMARY:By the Banks | Paintings by Jack Banks and Hunter Banks
DESCRIPTION:#FFFHEX contemporary art gallery is pleased to announce an opening reception for the exhibition By the Banks on Saturday\, May 13 from 5–7 PM. Father-and-son figurative painters Jack Banks and Hunter Banks both focus on the landscape surrounding their home in Wake\, Virginia near the Rappahannock River.  \nJack Banks paints dense forest and gnarled tree trunks. The expressive brushwork of his small panels seems to be alive with continuous motion: a downed tree crawls with the activity of decay; a branch whips in the wind. Jack explained that the paintings take time to mature\, and he will sometimes toss newly completed panels into the woods. After months pass\, he may stumble upon them and determine that they have come into their own\, or if not\, leave them in the thicket.  \nHunter Banks is drawn to the quiet clearings of homesites and the riverbank. His piece River with Ice on It depicts a giant prehistoric stump unearthed by erosion that is now\, after 30\,000 years rest\, quickly disappearing into the water. The forms of sky\, ice\, and land dissolve into austere abstraction. Hunter writes\, “I work at a walking pace\, slowly negotiating and agreeing with the scene until the consolidated colors\, simplified shapes\, and subtle marks settle my doubts\, whims\, and twinges into stillness.” He notes that texts on walking shared by his father inform his focus and sense of awareness.  \nBy the Banks presents pairings of their paintings with an eye to formal and emotional relationships. These beautiful works offer views of the Tidewater landscape and a look into the enigmatic artistic rapport of Jack Banks and Hunter Banks.  \nThe exhibition will be on view May 13–June 3. Please contact the gallery for an appointment to view the works by phone (804) 384-6288 or by email fffhexgallery@gmail.com. More information is available online at www.fffhex.com.  \nJack Banks studied art at Virginia Commonwealth University\, and the College of William and Mary. He and his family live in rural Tidewater\, VA where he has been employed in boat-building\, sign painting and graphic art. His drawings\, paintings and monotypes are in many private collections up and down the east coast.  \nHunter Banks is an observational painter who paints concise\, quiet images of landscapes\, structures\, objects\, and sometimes people. Banks was born in 1993 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art and Art History from Christopher Newport University in 2014. He lives and works in Middlesex\, VA and teaches visual art at Christchurch School.   \n#FFFHEX is an artist-run contemporary gallery that was founded in 2016 to share a curatorial perspective unique in Mathews Courthouse\, a small town on the tip of Virginia’s middle peninsula. The gallery features rotating exhibitions of painting and sculpture by local\, national and international artists. The name #FFFHEX plays on the graphic designer’s hexadecimal colors\, referring to the “white cube” philosophy of presenting artwork in a dedicated environment that is free from distraction.
