Jackie Fuchs “The Rise” – Returning Artist
Jackie Fuchs at Gallery 444
Week long show. Opening on Friday nights.
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
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.”

Paul Anthony Hastings – Returning Artist
Paul Hastings at Gallery 44
Week long show 10/9-16. Opening on Friday night 10-11.
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.

Artist’s Statement:
The work should engage and stimulate the viewers imagination. Each piece starts with either an actual scene or a concept which, once underway on canvas, develops its own voice.
My painting is more about the process of each piece, with color, gesture, shape, balance and line evolving as the voice of that painting starts to be heard.
Many of my paintings are anchored in emotion, which seldom is singular, but usually identifiable. The beauty of abstract work is that imaginary forms are the norm. Human figures are often present, with their forms reflecting either that emotion or attitude which can be elusive in representational painting. Lastly, the process should be fun! If a work cannot reflect that fun, it will morph until it does.

Joel Thurm Biography, March 28, 2019
Born and raised on one of the last remaining farms in Brooklyn, NY, Joel Thurm graduated New York’s Hunter College, majoring in theater and psychology and became the worst substitute teacher in modern times. When unable to follow lesson plans, Thurm instead brought his own art supplies to class and for those days, he immersed his classes in arts projects. Without any prior experience in the field, his first major job after teaching was with the famed Broadway producer, David Merrick as his Casting Director. While there he cast Pearl Bailey’s version of Hello, Dolly!, Burt Bacharach’s Promises, Promises, and Woody Allen’s Play It Again, Sam among others.
After leaving Merrick, he went to Hollywood where he continued to cast for movies and television until he left NBC in 1990, having been Senior VP of Talent and Casting for the previous 10 years. Thurm cast The Rocky Horror Picture Show(1975), Grease(1978), and Airplane! and Altered Statesin 1980. He also cast many of the most popular TV shows of his time including: Taxi,Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Starsky & Hutch, and other well known series and TV movies. His first job as a producer was 1976’s highest viewed TV movie, The Boy in The Plastic Bubble that starred the very young John Travolta. Thurm also produced the TV series Angie and the feature films Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Its My Party which featured Olivia Newton John and Margaret Cho among its stars. Thurm’s hidden passion was always photography. His stage and film history gave him a “Technicolor eye” which he brings to his photography The advent of technology (along with his imagination), has allowed him to create what he terms “Fantastical Realism”. He creates painterly photos in colors of all imaginable hues. His art makes the ordinary extraordinary. Thurm’s photography of the London Tate Galleries, California’s Joshua Tree National Park, and images of Provincetown will be seen at the Ivan Gallery in Los Angeles this fall. Gallery 444 in Provincetown, MA will be showing his work from May 22-29, 2019.
