Fresh Paint
November 4 - November 28

Painting is a means of feeling "living". Painting is the only art form except still photography which is without time. Music takes time to listen to and ends, writing takes time and ends, movies end, ideas and even sculpture take time. Painting does not. It never ends, it is the only thing that is both continuous and still.
-Joan Mitchell

Eirene Efstathiou: No Direction Home + Bennett Morris: Part Seen Imagined Part
September 2 - 26, 2009

Eirene Efstathiou and Bennett Morris are interested in the epic spectacle of society and its ongoing deterioration. Each examines un-identified events with enormous collective meaning, futuristic or historical, apocalyptic or revolutionary, in a way that capitalizes on the limits and dilapidation of reality and perception.

Whitney Art Works at the University of New England
Ten Portland galleries curate their finest mini-exhibits in "The Business of Art" at the University of New England. The show will be supplemented by educational events discussing how the art scene continues to thrive in Maine. Be dazzled by the scope, innovation, and beauty of the "drawings" by a group of our favorite artists. An affirmation of the vitality and variety of the arts scene in Portland!

Aaron T Stephan - Taken Out of Context
Whitney Art Works is pleased to announce another blockbuster from Aaron T Stephan.
With his usual mix of humor, and beauty, new work by
Aaron T Stephan will inhabit Whitney Art Works for the month of June.

Working with plaster, steel, plastic, and wood, Stephan tweaks notions of art history and geography. Both monumental and minuscule, these sculptures reference the sublime while playing with scale and are produced with remarkable craft.

June 3rd - 27th

Artist Talk by Jaime Gili
Gili's work is an invigorating lens, a personable sheen that offers its glossiness to society and activates the urban. It contains the slick, hopeful zing of Futurism or Rayonnism and brims with a romantic wish for the world that is conversely anachronistic and fresh.

"Everyday objects re-imagined or familiar nursery rhymes re-cast invoke a daydreamy surreality."
