Jackie Fuchs

Week long show. Opening on Friday night.

Jackie Fuchs was born in Brooklyn, New York.  She began her career as salon owner, colorist and stylist.  In the 90’s she went back to school and earned a BFA in Art Education, Film and Psychology, from UMass, Amherst and went on for a Master’s degree in Education from Smith College.  She has taught Art and TV Production in NYC and has been part of the artist community in Provincetown and the Hamptons for over 30 years. In addition to being a prolific sculptor, Jackie recenlty began to explore paints and collage.  Her work is colorful and whimsical with each piece presenting like a freeze-frame in a movie or book. 

Artist Process:

I create the space (or environment if you will) first.  With two architectural classes under my belt, I proceed to paint one and two point perspectives. I then collage the room with mid-century furniture, wall art, and sometimes a pet. It comes together like a puzzle for me. I never premeditate the work.  Before I glue anything down I arrange and create a scene.  The heads are my personal depiction of the Modigliani paintings. Visiting the Barnes Foundation back in November triggered my childhood memories and passion for the long necks.  My work evolves organically.   It is as if I am channeling a story that I don’t remember consciously though I am always cutting magazines in preparation for the next work of art. I feel very close to the people in my collages. The stories are mine, and yet the appeal is universal.

Paul Hastings at Gallery 44

Week long show 10/3-10. Opening on Friday night 10-5.

All of my work is done “en plein air” and most of it right in P-town. No working from photos-ever.

Boston Artist Paul Hastings grew up in Manchester, NH and received his bachelor’s degree there in Commercial Art from Notre Dame College. Although trained in the graphic arts, after college Paul began to gravitate towards freer forms of expression and later studied drawing and painting at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

One can easily see the roots of his graphic design training in his calculated compositions and in the use of shape and color as strong graphic elements employed to capture light as it plays on everyday objects, the human figure, or the landscape. He is currently influenced by the work of Fairfield Porter, Janet Fish, and George Nick and is striving to reduce the visual clutter of his subjects without sacrificing their essence.

Paul paints in his studio in West Roxbury and en plein air on the Outer Cape –usually in short four or five hour sessions. He is a member of the United South End Artists Association, and his work has been exhibited in the Roslindale Open Studios show and at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.

Paul Hastings at Gallery 44

Week long show. Opening on Friday night.

The work of Provincetown artist Paul Hastings will be on display at Gallery 444 from October 9th to the 12th (444 Commercial St., Provincetown).

Working on locations in and around town, Hastings applies the principles of plein air painting to capture scenes that evoke the essence of Provincetown. These often include quiet overlooked spots or iconic buildings set against the unique light of our sea and sky.

“Painting outdoors is not for everyone” says Hastings. “The elements can be challenging, and the conditions are not always ideal, but it forces me to think in a particular way; to focus on the spirit of the scene and capture it quickly before the light changes.”
