Thank you to Jacqueline Houton and the Boston Art Review for this lovely write-up of our current exhibition No Place Like Home. featuring paintings by Paul Beckingham, Bonita LeFlore and Kayla Myers. Houton captured the spirit of a show that we are very proud of, and added her own reflections as a new resident of Arlington. Read an excerpt below and the full review here.
“In a meta move, [Beckingham] includes a painting of 13FOREST, where twinkling lights in the windows frame gallery goers taking in the annual “Plenty” holiday show and sale. It’s one of the few paintings where human figures are visible, and it nods to the social function of a neighborhood gallery like this one. This isn’t a solemn white cube but a place packed with art and, often, people, who get frequent chances to meet the artists whose work is on view.”
