Opening Reception: March Exhibitions

Join us for the opening reception of Nat Martin's Over Days in the Main Gallery and Diane Novetsky's On the Cusp in the Center and Project Space Galleries. Light refreshments will be provided along with the chance to talk to Nat and Diane about their exhibitions! Nat Martin’s work in <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/main-martin-2025">Over Days</a> includes personal pieces that reflect Martin's daily life, intentionally blending art and everyday experience. Nat Martin enjoys working on the scale of toys and items on shelves, small objects yet laden with humor and meaning. Some works are visual, others conceptual, but most are playful. Martin creates works that are both familiar and strange, balancing one foot in the everyday world and the other somewhere entirely different. His art often involves his children, who bring him odd items they find, suggesting he should incorporate them into his pieces. Materials, scraps, lost toys, and other fragments from daily life frequently become part of his creations. In a past show titled Untitled Afternoon, Martin added notes about each sculpture—an approach he has continued in Over Days. Martin’s project Alternate Views consists of found eBay listing images, specifically secondary photos of items for sale. These images, which offer a more complete view for potential buyers, inform the artist’s exploration of value, context, and perception. Alternate Views is an ongoing project that directly connects with Martin’s sculptural work. In Diane Novetsky’s first exhibition as a Kingston Gallery Member, she presents a new body of work that centers around curvilinear forms—circles and spheres that serve as celestial bodies, sources of light, architectural fragments, and constellations. These shapes, both serpentine and biomorphic, evoke the female form, suggesting sensuality, while the circular forms represent the continuity of life and the cyclical nature of existence. Through geometry in its most iconic form, Novetsky’s work becomes an abstract narrative, where these forms take on roles as characters, revealing stories of their creation. Novetsky’s forms bend, twist, and rotate, creating a sense of space that is both fluid and flat. Through this playful contradiction, she invites the viewer to explore the boundless possibilities of form and color. Her paintings aim to express the fullness of life, offering an experience of joy, contemplation, and energy. Her style is adventurous, with a sense of both earth and sky, evoking an energy that animates the world around us. The title On the Cusp refers to the crescent moon, an arc-like symbol of femininity and empowerment, as well as the threshold between the present and the future. This exhibit offers a glimpse into new possibilities, revealing paths yet to be fully explored.
