Kingston Gallery

First Friday Reception for May Exhibitions 

Join us for the opening reception of <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/main-ewen-2025">Phyllis Ewen's INUNDATION </a>, David Abel's <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/main-ewen-2025">Inundation District </a>, and Mira Cantor's <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/project-cantor-2025">When we were starfish...</a> at Kingston Gallery in Boston's SOWA Arts District! Light refreshments will be provided along with the chance to talk to Linda, Bonnie, and Vaughn about their exhibitions! Main Gallery <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/main-ewen-2025">Phyllis Ewen:&nbsp;INUNDATION</a> In Phyllis Ewen’s&nbsp;INUNDATION, imagination and memories interact with the natural world. Maps, charts, and photographs combine to create sculptural drawings– three-dimensional reliefs– inspired by the many forces that shape the earth's surface. Ewen scans charts and weather maps, then alters them in Photoshop, and prints these images. They are then reassembled to form imagined coastal images with the effects of anthropogenic global warming.&nbsp;The works in this exhibition evoke the rising waters flooding our coasts and relationships with the ocean.&nbsp; While maps typically imply that viewers are looking down at the earth, Ewen’s work invites viewers to place themselves in these landscapes and inhabit the seas as another way of understanding our relationship to land and sea. Phyllis Ewen lives in Massachusetts, with studios in Somerville and Wellfleet. Her art is in public collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the DeCordova Museum, the Boston Public Library, Harvard University, the Reykjanes Museum of Art, and numerous corporate and private collections. She is a gallery artist at Kingston Gallery in Boston and AIR in Brooklyn. This is her second exhibit in the main gallery at Kingston and had a show last year in the Project Space.&nbsp;Ewen’s work has been shown widely, including a well-received three-person exhibition at Reykjanes Museum of Art in Iceland,&nbsp;Við Sjónarrönd/Above And Below The Horizon. Center Gallery: <a href="https://www.inundationdistrict.com/home">David Abel:&nbsp;Inundation District</a> Accompanying Phyllis Ewen’s INUNDATION, is&nbsp;Inundation District,&nbsp;a film by David Abel in the Center Gallery, exhibiting a four-minute trailer.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.inundationdistrict.com/home">Inundation District</a>&nbsp;is an award-winning feature-length film about the implications of Boston’s decision to ignore the threats posed by climate change and spend billions of dollars on building a new waterfront district — on landfill, at sea level. Unlike other places imperiled by climate change, the Seaport in Boston, with its glass towers housing some of the world’s largest companies, was built well after scientists began warning of the threats, including many at its renowned universities. Boston, which already has more high-tide flooding than nearly any other in the United States, called its new quarter the Innovation District. But with seas rising inexorably, and at an accelerating rate, others are calling the neighborhood by a different name: Inundation District. The Project Space Gallery: <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/project-cantor-2025">Mira Cantor:&nbsp;When we were starfish…</a> Mira Cantor’s newest works on paper investigate the connections between humanity and nature. Drawing from Cantor’s interest in Leonardo da Vinci’s&nbsp;Vitruvian Man&nbsp;and working with starfish fossils in the Burren in Ireland, these works employ starfish imagery to evoke the human figure. The starfish, with its five limbs and connection to the Fibonacci number 5, can also be applied to the human body. Like humans, starfish have complex nervous systems, they can walk across the ocean floor, and can even feel pain. Perhaps the five limbs of a starfish harken to humanity’s beginnings and are a precursor to da Vinici’s famous study of the human body.

Opening Reception: April Exhibitions

Join us for the opening reception of Linda Lesslie Brown's Circulations in the Main Gallery, Bonnie Sennott's Noise Antidote in the Center Gallery, and Vaughn Sills' Still in the Project Space Gallery. Light refreshments will be provided along with the chance to talk to Linda, Bonnie, and Vaughn about their exhibitions! In Circulations, Linda Leslie Brown’s sculptures explore the transformative exchanges between nature, objects, and the viewer’s creative perception. The works are rich with allusions to the body, while simultaneously evoking a new, transgenic nature—one where corporeal and mechanical entities merge and recombine. The sculptures suggest a world that is both fluid and uncertain, where the boundaries between organic and synthetic are porous and ever-shifting. Many of the pieces are intimate in scale, not much larger than a human head and shoulders, inviting a close, personal engagement that is both delightful and unsettling. This new body of work both recapitulates and deepens Brown’s earlier forms and obsessions, reflecting the continuity and evolution of her artistic practice. Her work deliberately turns away from overt gestures of mastery or polish. Instead, it speaks through a language of bending, breaking, and mending. Discontinuity and disruption are intrinsic to the making process, and these sculptures bear the traces of physical destruction, as if they have endured and withstood the forces that threatened to pull them apart. Yet within this fragility, there is humor: a flickering smile at the collapsed forms, a recognition of their resilience. The sculptures present themselves as entities that persist—clinging, broken, but still thriving. Bonnie Sennott’s abstract embroidery offers an antidote to the constant noise of social media, news, texts, and emails—coming from screens and devices of all sizes. It also provides a reprieve from the ongoing chatter of our busy minds. The small, meditative works in Noise Antidote invite viewers to slow down, enter a quiet space, and take a break from the noise. Sennott creates each piece slowly, through a process of improvisation and discovery. The works are embroidered with Valdani pearl cotton thread on linen, which Sennott occasionally dyes with walnuts or oak galls she collects while out in nature. Rather than working from sketches or a fixed plan, she allows each composition to evolve organically. A piece is complete when the accumulation of stitches, shapes, and colors achieves a sense of equilibrium. Equally important to the embroidery are the unworked, negative spaces, which contribute to the feeling of lightness and ease—spaces where the eye can rest and the mind can breathe. The work in Still is a collection of photographs culled from years of Vaughn Sills' time spent photographing on Prince Edward Island. While Sills has long used her camera to reflect on her mother’s life and her own process of grieving, this subset of images focuses on the land and the rural life that continues to shape it. For the first time, these works are presented at Kingston Gallery. In Still, Sills explores the stillness both of the photograph itself—the way a moment is suspended in time—and of the land, which holds a quiet, steady beauty. Her photographs reflect a deep reverence for the land and for the rhythms of rural life, implying a connection to the steady work of farming and an enduring respect for the environment.

Artist talk with Diane Novetsky and Marjorie Kaye

Join artists Diane Novetsky&nbsp;and Marjorie Kaye in conversation at Kingston Gallery to talk about Diane Novetsky's exhibition <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/project-novetsky-2025">On The Cusp</a>! Artist Bio <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/diane-novetsky">Diane Novetsky</a>&nbsp;is an abstract painter who uses bold, saturated colors and biomorphic forms evocative of the female body. She is a former graphic designer and business owner of Nova Design, and has also taught painting for many years. Diane’s work has been widely shown throughout New England including the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury, Galatea Fine Arts, Danforth Museum of Art, Tufts University Aidekman Gallery, Kingston Gallery, and the Boston Convention Center. She started 2024 as a featured solo artist at The Painting Center, NYC. Forthcoming exhibits include the Southern Vermont Art Center and the Kingston Gallery. Diane has been included in prominent group exhibits at the Painting Center, NY, and Mark Borghi Fine Arts, Sag Harbor, NY. Diane’s work has been published in&nbsp;Artscope,&nbsp;Art New England, the&nbsp;Boston Globe&nbsp;and&nbsp;Boston Voyager. Diane resides in Somerville MA and is a founding member of the Brickbottom Artists Community. <a href="https://www.marjoriekayeart.com/">Marjorie Kaye</a>&nbsp;resides in the city of North Adams, MA, after living in the Boston area for many years. Her most recent work is an investigation of intuitive algorithms, and how they reflect the building blocks of manifestation as well as consciousness. Within one pattern, many emerge: an ocean contains memory of its past incarnations in momentary continuous changes on the surface and under the water. Kaye’s work has been reviewed in many publications including the Boston Globe, ArtScope Magazine, and the Metapsychosis Journal, and has been shown extensively, including at galleries such as Galatea Fine Art in Boston, Future Lab(s) Gallery in North Adams, the Boxheart Gallery in Pittsburgh, PA, LABSpace in Hillsdale, NY, and in many venues with the Feminist/Futurist Collective. Kaye is a past recipient of the Orlowsky/Freed Foundation Grant from the Provincetown Art Museum, where she also exhibited. She was awarded a Finalist Grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council for Painting in 2018, as well as from the Northern Berkshires Cultural Council in 2024 and 2025. As of 2022, Kaye is the Western Massachusetts correspondent for ArtScope Magazine for the Berkshires, and covered exhibits and events at the 2022 Art Basel Miami. Kaye is the founder of Galatea Fine Art in Boston, MA, a large artist-run gallery featuring over 39 artists from Boston and beyond and was its director until 2023. Some past projects also include the web-based Caladan Gallery, which ran for 10 years and exhibited hundreds of artists from all over the world, and the Lawrence, MA Gallery 181, which enhanced the community with the exhibition of local, national, and international artists.

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.

Artist Talk: Cree Bruins with Erik and Martin Demaine

Join artists Cree Bruins, Martin Demaine, and Erik Demaine for an in-depth discussion as they take you on a journey through their past exhibitions, culminating in the discussion of their latest body of work,<a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/main-bruins-2024">&nbsp;[In]Secure</a>, on view at Kingston Gallery. This talk will offer a unique insight into the evolution of their creative practice, as well as the collaborative process that shaped their new projects. Throughout the discussion, they will explore how modern technologies—such as fingerprints, credit cards, QR codes, barcodes, and security envelopes—are redefining our understanding of privacy and identity in a digitally-driven world. The artists will examine how these innovations are reshaping our personal and financial experiences, contributing to a landscape marked by instability, risk, and the rise of fraudulent practices. This will be an interactive talk, encouraging viewers to engage directly with the artwork and reflect on the issues these technologies present in real time. Join us to delve into the intersection of art, technology, and the evolving complexities of our digital selves.

Opening Reception: February Exhibitions

Join us as we celebrate the opening of two new exhibitions at Kingston Gallery! Exhibiting artists include Cree Bruins, Erik Demaine, Martin Demaine, and Brian Littelfield.

Artist Talk: Phyllis Famiglietti and Debra Samdperil

Phyllis Famiglietti and Debra Samdperil will speak about their current exhibition on view at Kingston Gallery,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/main-famiglietti-samdperil">We Are Not the Stories We Tell Ourselves:&nbsp;Intersecting Thoughts —Parallel Play</a>. They will touch on their processes and influences related to their individual art practices. Phyllis and Debra will also address how being queer partners who share their lives and a studio together can’t help but influence each other’s artmaking and how they work with that. An open discussion will follow including time for questions, thoughts, and some hot apple cider and cookies.

Opening Reception: Phyllis Famiglietti and Debra Samdperil

Join us as we celebrate the opening of We Are Not the Stories We Tell Ourselves: Intersecting Thoughts — Parallel Play by Phyllis Famiglietti and Debra Samdperil. As queer partners and artists, Phyllis Famiglietti and Debra Samdperil live, love, and share a studio together. They embrace that challenge in their art-making, working with their demons both separately and in tandem. We Are Not the Stories We Tell Ourselves: Intersecting Thoughts — Parallel Play explores the influence Famiglietti and Samdperil have on each other’s work as they integrate the judgments, convictions, and sentiments that stem from long-ago traumas. What almost destroyed them individually is now essential to what inspires them creatively. Famiglietti draws from the outside material world while Samdperil works from the inside out.

Resonant Currents by Iwalani Kaluhiokalani and Lani Asunción

Resonant Currents&nbsp;by Iwalani Kaluhiokalani and Lani Asunción explores water as both a physical and symbolic force, blending sound, video, performance, and wearable art to illuminate unseen connections. Iwalani Kaluhiokalani and Lani Asunción recently collaborated together in<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-fmdDJMMmS/?igsh=dGpwNzdsNmxzcW9l">&nbsp;‘Tabi Tabi Po’ (May I Pass)&nbsp;</a>a performance part of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rosekennedygreenway.org/art-exhibit/song-land-sea-asuncion/">SONG/ LAND/ SEA: WAI Water Warnings</a>, a public art installation by Asuncion on the Rose Kennedy Greenway on view through Summer 2025. Inspired by bathymetric charts, the flow of underwater ecosystems, and the human body’s fluid dynamics, the artists create an immersive experience that bridges self and environment. Through restorative soundscapes, video projections, and costuming as a living bridge, the performance celebrates water’s depth as a force of nature and metaphor, inviting audiences to engage with the unseen currents and histories that bind us in an age of climate change. Join this multisensory journey! Resonant Currents&nbsp;is presented in conjunction with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/iwalani-kaluhiokalani-mer-sea">Iwalani Kaluhiokalani: Mer Sea&nbsp;</a>on view December 4–29, 2024 at Kingston Gallery.

Artist Talk: Rhonda Smith and Wendy Seller

Join&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/rhonda-smith-2024">Rhonda Smith</a>, Main Gallery artist, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/wendy-seller-2024">Wendy Seller</a>, Project Space artist, as they discuss their November exhibitions at Kingston Gallery. Mary Sherman from the&nbsp;<a href="https://transculturalexchange.org/">Transcultural Exchange</a>&nbsp;will also be in attendance to share information about the March 2025 conference. <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/rhonda-smith-2024">Undiscovered Country&nbsp;by Rhonda Smith</a>&nbsp;derives from various influences: sea tales, myths, poems, industrial and natural elements, medieval imagery, photographs, and contemporary statistics. These influences emerge during the creation of each piece. Rhonda Smith relies on the tactile process of shaping, molding, and assembling materials to give form to her ideas. Initial concepts often remain skeletal or merely impulsive, while the true essence of a piece develops through the tactile process of listening to what her hands transmute. <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/wendy-seller-2024">Hybridized Worlds&nbsp;by Wendy Seller&nbsp;</a>explores the fusion of traditional painting techniques and digital image-building. Wendy Seller embraces these polar-opposite artmaking approaches to create intangible hybridized worlds that integrate past and present, populated by magical figures and surreal landscapes. Seller developed this technique with Photoshop when an inherited “essential hand tremor” made it extremely difficult for her to write or paint any longer. Her digital collages evolve from a myriad of sources, including her own photography, Renaissance paintings, and current-day catalogs or magazines.
