Laura Levine and Clay Fried at Gallery444 PTown

Laura Levine & Clay Fried

Opening on Friday night.

Laura Levine and Clay Fried both grew up on Long Island, meeting like passing ships in elementary school. Freeport was known as, the water tower proclaimed, Boating Capital of the World. Complete with its fishing shanties and marshlands, the smell of surf permeated their memory of what others knew as the Jones Beach Exit.
Fast forward a few years and Laura and Clay found themselves at Purchase College in New York studying art at this fledgling state university where they were exposed to the rigors of drawing and painting fundamentals a short jaunt to New York City galleries and museums. As you can see, their creative spirits were most kindled in the art of painting. With the help of social media, their conversations, trials and errors became the subject of much debate, trade secrets, and note comparing.

As the summers came and went, eventually Laura and Clay paid homage to Cape Cod to paint and soon discovered that they each made a special event of painting in Cape Cod, unbeknownst to each other. It’s the light, the low horizon, the calm and the flamboyance. Every rainbow is a diamond and that is a starting point for Laura and Clay, lifelong acquaintances.

“In a general reflection on my art and life, I feel that the unconscious and conscious landscape hemispheres collide creating positive and negative tension within our lives. The unconscious has an existence of time immemorial within your myth, while our conscious life ego awakes daily to a fresh new day. So I question; How do we exist through these our entire lives, shaping us toward the past, present and future as one totality? In which way does the essence of it all give meaning to who we are and contribute to our interactions with each other, our earth and universe?

It has been a lifelong search and journey revealing my art through these philosophical and psychological constructs. Art that coexists and works in conjunction with these constructs and with each other:

painting, music, poetry, photography, film and narrative. The landscape hemispheres and archetypes create new paths to follow and show themselves as personal empirical motifs within the art abstractly. They prove to be part of the memory, dream, reflection symbiosis. It is all much a mystery and interesting pursuit.”

At the invitation of the then-Soviet government in 1989, Kevin accompanied a traveling solo exhibition of his work across the Soviet Union, and Kevin subsequently hosted two Russian artists whom the government of Mikhail Gorbachev permitted to visit and work in the United States. In addition, the National River Conservation Association commissioned a series of works by Kevin to document the Bio Bio River in Chile prior to construction of a major dam that changed the river’s course and depth forever.

Ashley Bilodeau at Gallery 444 PTown

Opening on Friday night. 

About the Artist

Ashley Paige Bilodeau is a self-taught, natural-light photographer who was born and raised on Cape Cod. She is best known for capturing the natural beauty of the Cape & Islands in her minimalist photography collections. Select images can be found on view in her gallery on Main Street Chatham, ‘All Points Beautiful.’ Additionally she has established a name for herself in the New England yoga and outdoor industries.

Ashley has been an artist since before she could walk, always inspired to capture the intrinsic beauty of her coastal hometown. She recalls taking photographs with a disposable camera at the young age of twelve. She later fell in-love with developing film. She built an in-home dark room while living in Vermont in her early twenties. Prior to opening her gallery, she worked in the action sports industry. She remembers excitedly picking up a digital camera at the age of 20 and feeling like everything in her life had aligned, she booked her first job in action sports the following week. Her focus shifted to yoga photography upon completing her first 200hr yoga training in power yoga. In curating the perfect backdrops for her yoga clients, she quickly realized it was the organic landscapes she was most drawn to. Today, taking photos is not only her livelihood, but also her meditation.

“My work is inspired by how I see the world. Part of my process is finding the right time to shoot. Not only from an aesthetic/lighting stand point but also just being aware of how I feel while shooting, I need to be in the right headspace.. I try to shoot when I don’t have any heavy feelings inside of me. I want to convey the world as I see it, visually, not as I feel it or perceive it. I believe this really translates into my work. The images have no attachment to my emotions. I can let them go and be whole heartedly enjoyed and appreciated by my clients for their beauty alone.” – Ashley Bilodeau
