Public Reception, Friday June 14th, 5-7pm

Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne Village is pleased to announce the opening of ‘Luminous’, a group exhibit showing works in diverse styles and mediums from our accomplished, regional artists– with featured artist David Maille.

Equally versatile in woodworking and oil painting, David Maille creates paintings that integrate the grain and integrity of the wooden panels that serve as their base. The wood can be built up, adjoined, or carved away and metal leaf applied with the addition of very slight, oil paint layers. The sculptural relief and curvatures of these works allow the viewer to observe a singular scene that changes in nuance and tone when viewed at different angles and as light changes throughout the day and night. Some of the pieces give a sense that one is looking from within a darker space to an external, natural view- a play of foliage with the luster of distant skylight.
