Image The Center for Maine Contemporary Arts Presents: "Lois Dodd: Directly Considered" and "The Gleaners" featuring found object artist Jesse Gillespie.

Well-respected artist Lois Dodd is an extremely prolific painter who is interested in a wide range of subject matter from nudes to night scenes, and windows to woods. This exhibition of over 40 works pays homage to the artist’s curiosity by including paintings of all major subjects from different time periods, however, with a slight twist—the vast majority of works in the exhibition is of a small nature. These paintings, executed on site, possess very dynamic compositions and loose handling of paint.

Note: on Wednesday, May 23rd at 7:00 p.m., CMCA will screen "Lois Dodd: Maine Master". Film is free for CMCA members or with gallery admission.

CMCA invited found-object artist Jesse Gillespie to assemble items that usually inhabit artists’ studios and other creative people’s spaces. In gleaning these objects for our scrutiny, connections between the artist’s “regular” work and what they have chosen to surround themselves with will illuminate their creative process and allow viewers to see a more private and primal side of their imagination.

The opening reception is Friday, April 25th, 5 7 p.m. The exhibit runs April 26th through July 19th.
