Art Inside the Home
What says welcome home better then your artwork. Bits of treasures from past travels indeed evoke the people, places and encouragement you were given to get "THAT PIECE OF ART" which would look perfect in your home. Both Tim and Don, both avid collectors of clothes and art want to share with you some pieces that we have found to be both beautiful and intriguing.
The John Randall House in partnership with the Bowersock Gallery and Gallery Voyeur are excited to share with you artwork from each which can be viewed in the common areas of the house.
Bowersock Gallery
The Bowersock Gallery is located in front of Pepe's on the Wharf in Provincetown's historic gallery district, on the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Provincetown is recognized as one of America's oldest continuing arts colony in the country.
The Gallery was established in 2004 as a venue to encourage and explore a deeper interest and enjoyment for contemporary, modern, abstract and classical works of art. We are dedicated to being one of the foremost art galleries in New England.
Our goal is to further on going education that informs, engages and enlivens the individual art collector and art community, through innovative art installations, openings, exhibitions and home staging. The Bowersock Gallery's openness and willingness to evolve and change is paramount to all of our art endeavors. A Distinctive Gallery for the Discerning Eye, the gallery is open year round and always features new work.John Randall House was originally constructed to the standards of the then town-doctor. After over a hundred years, this home has seen Provincetown evolve into a unique, historical, and vibrant collision of traditions and history.
Gallery Voyeur
Owner, Johniene Papandreas transformed a design career in the New York theatre into a business designing Corporate Theatre and Events before returning to fine art. Her travels in the heightened world of theatre and sometimes surreal world of Corporate America contribute largely to the insights into human nature she explores in her work.
"I am fascinated with subtext -- Reading between the lines -- Tuning in to the unspoken. Mine are portraits of imagined selves, damaged, passionate, and hidden selves. Expressions captured of a moment thought private, unobserved, before the retreat-- before the walls go back up. Guided by past Masters, passionate in their revelation of the human condition, I seek out the souls that populate their paintings--The complex expressions, hidden agendas, and faces stripped of artifice, laid bare by ecstasy. Lifting them out of their place and time I take them as my models. I listen carefully and translate. Your eyes meet theirs -- Something is familiar -- you connect, and across the centuries spirits speak".
The paintings are created entirely by brush on heavyweight muslin (chosen for its unobtrusive weave) in casein, a paint derived from milk or soy protein which was used widely by artists in earlier times but which is not often seen today. Though it has similarities to both watercolor and gouache, it is more durable than either and has neither the transparency of the one nor the chalkiness of the other. I apply the paint in thin layers, building visual depth without thickness of paint, and the result is a luminous, matte finish that appears to glow from within. Because the paint is applied thinly, there is no thickness of paint to crack or chip even when these large paintings are removed from their frames and rolled for shipping or storage.
