ETERNAL HARVEST

October 5 - November 30, 2024

"Eternal Harvest" is an exhibition that honors the evolving landscape and its cycles of change. Featuring works by New England-based artists Neil Berger, Clark Derbes, and Lydia Jenkins Musco, the show reflects on the powerful forces that shape our surroundings—both natural and man-made. From the steady rhythm of the seasons to the impact of human intervention, the exhibition explores how time and nature transform the landscape in visible and invisible ways.

Neil Berger’s work captures the quiet intensity of nature through his oil paintings and prints, created with profound awe and reverence for the natural world. Inspired by his walks and wanderings, Berger’s pieces convey a mood that is "quiet but alert," drawing viewers to experience nature’s raw beauty. Influenced by poets like Walt Whitman and T.S. Eliot, Berger’s work embodies a love for the landscape that is both passionate and introspective.

Clark Derbes, known primarily for his dynamic, polychrome wooden sculptures, offers a fresh perspective with a selection of new oil on wood landscape paintings. His vibrant colors and bold forms bring a playful yet meditative energy to the exhibition, bridging the gap between traditional landscape painting and contemporary art.

Lydia Jenkins Musco’s concrete sculptures provide a powerful commentary on the accumulation of time, growth, and memory. Her work, constructed from layers of integrally pigmented hand-cast concrete, create moveable, stackable forms, mirroring the process of moving through time and the slow transformation of the landscape. Musco’s sculptures are both grounded and dynamic, reflecting her deep engagement with the material and her quest to understand the world through making.

"Eternal Harvest" invites viewers to reflect on the beauty of change and the cycles of life and death that are inherent in both the natural world and our own lives. It is a love letter to the landscape; a celebration of the ephemeral and the eternal, and the profound connection we have to the land that surrounds us.
