BROOKLINE ARTS CENTER GALLERY EXHIBITION - January 5 - February 24, 2010
Cape Cod Sculptor Skip Treglia Interprets
Spirits of Land and Sea
at the Brookline Arts Center Gallery
(Brookline -- January 7, 2010) The Brookline Arts Center’s upcoming gallery exhibition – Spirits of Land and Sea by Skip Treglia – presents new sculptures made from metal and driftwood spit by the sea onto the Cape Cod shore. With echoes of abstract modernist rigor and the evocative worn surfaces of Surrealist sculpture, Treglia's work forms the chaos of ocean flotsam and driftwood into a surprisingly colorful body of work inspired by the sea and shore.
Spirits of Land and Sea will be on view in Brookline from January 25 to February 24, 2010. There will be a free Opening Reception on Saturday, January 23, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. The Brookline Arts Center is located at 86 Monmouth Street, at the corner of St. Mary’s Street; the exhibition is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Treglia says he leaves his artworks open to interpretation. He admits that they are somewhat mysterious to him: “I suppose they come out of the unconscious,” the artist suggests.
"There is an underlying theme to this work, which is our connectedness to nature," says Skip. "The materials I use have often traveled great distances, transported by the ocean, eroded and sculpted by the elements."
Skip Treglia was born in Boston and now lives in Marstons Mills: he studied at the New England School of Art. He has taught painting at the Falmouth Art Guild and won a gold medal from the Copley Society of Boston. Treglia's work has been featured in solo shows at the Cape Cod Museum of Art and the Waquoit Bay Estuary Center, as well as group exhibitions at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Cataumet Art Center and Barnstable Artists’ Show.
The center is easily reached by public transportation and is wheelchair accessible. Admission to the exhibition is free. For more information, visit www.brooklineartscenter or call 617-566-5715.
