ART ON VIEW<\/p>\n

Sarah Meyers Brent
\nat Catamount Arts in Saint Johnsbury
\nJune 30-August 17, 2018<\/h2>\n

The sixteen pieces in Sarah Meyers Brent’s exhibition feature works on paper, paintings on canvas, and the assemblage of non-traditional materials for which she has become known. Delighting in an exploration of paint as a viscous, oozing medium that can represent both the beginning and end of life, Brent often incorporates recycled fabric, paint rags, and decaying flowers into her work. Themes of growth and decay pervade. Her paintings and assemblage are vibrant, dynamic, and often in a state of flux. \u201cIn this age of technology,\u201d Brent observes, \u201cwhen we are steps removed from nature, it is important for art to allow the viewer to experience what is alive and physical.\u201d<\/p>\n
