Morris Bennet is the July Guest Artist at Gallery North!

Bennet will be showing his oil paintings at Gallery North, 9 Eagle Street, North Adams, MA. The exhibit will accompany new work by permanent gallery artists Marilyn Cavallari, Ghetta Hirsch, Sean McCusker, and Mallory Rich from July 1st to July 31st; with an opening reception Monday, July 1st from 4-7pm.

Morris Bennett’s paintings are a combination of many different art styles synthesized with directly observed forms in nature. Music and other sounds are also among his influences. He exploits the human tendency to project inner states on outer forms by using his academic training to paint non-representational images.

Marilyn Cavallari lives in Williamstown. She is a contemporary landscape and seascape artist. She works with delicate strokes on several paintings simultaneously, distributing to each canvas her choice of bright and joyful colors.

Ghetta Hirsch offers a visual conversation on Nature. She composes vivid landscapes, observing the patterns of forms and colors on fields, mountains and water. Her “Abstract Realism” style relates calm and serenity to the meditative viewers.

Sean McCusker has been creating surreal landscapes inspired by the hilly Berkshires for over 20 years. His oil paintings, full of light and color, are built up slowly with an average of 30 thin transparent layers giving the effect of light emitting from the canvas.

Mallory Rich, a resident of Sandgate, VT has paintings in pastels and oils with her focus on rural VT, eastern New York and coastal Maine. She was a finalist in American Magazine’s 30 th Annual National Competition. She paints small moments in the landscape often unnoticed in our busy days.

Gallery North is located at 9 Eagle Street, North Adams, MA. Open Monday-Friday 3-7, Saturday 1-6 and Sunday 1-4. Morris Bennett’s work will be on display from July 1st to July 31st, 2024. Images available upon request.
