UPSTATE GNARLY, a group show in Ashley Garrett & Brian Wood Studio, July 19-21, 2024, Upstate Art Weekend
UPSTATE GNARLY
A show of 4 artists:
Gracelee Lawrence / Brian Wood
Courtney Puckett / Ashley Garrett
UPSTATE GNARLY is an exhibition of sculpture and painting in Brian Wood & Ashley Garrett’s studio, a 4,000 square foot space. Two painters are paired with two sculptors - Brian Wood with Gracelee Lawrence & Ashley Garrett with Courtney Puckett.
The conversations between the works span gestural, philosophical, emotional, and visionary spaces. All four artists’ works have a generative, unfolding quality as if arising from some underlying logic or deep structural order that lies just out of sight - like the drive toward emergent structures in nature. Created in the shimmering rural landscape of the Hudson Valley, each artist handles presence and memory, scale and complexity, with unique and powerful vision.

The image and mystique of the cowboy became all the more poignant when situated in an environment of rolling hills, isolated plains, and seemingly endless mountain peaks. For generations, representations of that idyllic landscape have been employed by artists to portray a perception of American grandeur. The painters of the Hudson River School in the mid-19th century, for instance, explored and expressed the sublime wonder and perils of the various American frontiers. In more recent memory, younger generations of artists have taken up the reigns and continue to imagine a transforming landscape in a literal and psychological sense. Read More

It’s Time to Slow Down
Visionary Projects x Anderson Contemporary
Group Show
June 20 - August 14, 2024
This exhibition brings together artists that highlight the collective need to slow down. Living in a world of instant gratification and perpetual consumption, we are inspiring a dialogue around what it could look like if we shifted the narrative to focus on mindful interactions. For this show, we are presenting work that illustrates unique perspectives of what it means to dial back our current societal normalities. This may be art that commands a more meditative call to action — to pause, think, reflect and honor the simple pleasures of daily life.

Review: “A Gathering at Tappeto Volante,” by Sharon Butler in Two Coats of Paint
Kate Mothes writes “Tuned in to damage that humans have wrought on the environment, Garrett considers sustaining our emotional, physical, and spiritual connection to nature to be the most significant key to preserving it.”

Ashley Garrett: Ambrosia
SEPTEMBER Gallery
4 Hudson Street #3
Kinderhook, NY 12106
June 10 - August 6, 2023
“In these paintings I am offering spaces for healing, restoration, and growth. By slowing down, observing the land that holds us, and prioritizing its care, we can recognize that by attending to the land, we are taking care of ourselves. Connecting to the bigness of nature and how it draws a feeling of settling and coming home.”
We are thrilled to present Ambrosia, Ashley Garrett’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Living and working among the natural riches of the environment in Upstate NY, Garrett’s work is directly connected to the surrounding landscape and her daily practice of meditating in nature. Presented here are a family of paintings created over the course of three years through changing seasons and undulating times.
“Spending time in nature, I felt how moving water and air mirrors the flow of internal processes like breathing, dreaming, and thinking. Where do these feelings, the strength of these energetic currents go, where are they met by nature’s pull?”

This curation celebrates an artist’s ability to
Create and destroy.
Expand, explore and fine tune.

info@berkshirebotanical.org
The exhibition brings together 38 artists whose drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, and sculptures are ignited by paying attention, by being present and making a record, chronicling the condition of life. Each artwork tells its own story with a singular voice in a potent conversation with the viewer.
SHIMMER. The artists' specific and carefully considered perspectives will invite, and at times challenge, the visitor to delve deeply into the idea of shimmer. A shimmer can be a light in the darkness, but also can, at times, be hard to detect. But shimmer is always present, and always beautiful, as these artists will attest.

“Ashley Garrett: Interview” on She Performs, March 26th, 2022
Ashley Garrett is an artist living and working in Upstate New York. Here she speaks to Lynn Seraina Battaglia about her practice, nature and movement in her paintings.
LSB: Your works are abstract spaces that also have a familiarity to it. They have a lot of movement in them and yet, they have a certain calm to them. Where does this dichotomy come from?
AG: I think the dichotomy comes from digested experience. I do a lot of looking and observing nature but I try not to "do" anything to it while I'm there, just fully be in the experience.

Forest Bathing is a concept that originated in Japan in the 1980’s as an antidote to an increasingly technological and alienating world. The idea is to mindfully walk in the woodlands and reconnect with the sounds, smells. colors and texture of nature. Forest Bathing is prescribed by Japanese physicians as a medical cure to calm stressed nerves, mitigate pain and heal the soul.
Curated by Jen Dragon, Forest Bathing features artwork by Ashley Garrett, Anne Leith, Iain Machell, John Lyon Paul, Christy Rupp and Martin Weinstein. All six artists independently use the woodlands of upstate New York as a touchstone for very different and contemporary styles of painting and sculpture.

Love Apple Farm, in partnership with Art-in-Buildings, is pleased to announce the opening of its new Fall exhibition Transfer-mations. Francis Greenburger, founder of Art Omi, is the owner of Love Apple Farm and the inspiration behind the Love Apple Art Space.
Transfer-mations brings together six artists who work between New York City and Upstate New York. The included artists each explore themes surrounding the ways in which self and home are reimagined in the process of relocation. Through the manipulation of materials, objects, and space, the presented works illustrate shifts in the artists' personal narratives as they explore and navigate new environments.

“Once entry is gained, navigation is restricted — her works, recognizable at first as true landscapes, are not quite dreamlike, yet also not quite real. There are just enough familiar elements for entry, but past the gate, forms dissolve into mark-making too colorful and entwined for further passage. Step away and begin to re-read the work as a different exercise, one with scaffolding from life but with light and color as its true subject.”
—Jack Coyne

“Garrett’s small, lush paintings depict a realm that is not exactly the known landscape. The longer one looks, the more the paintings slide away from what they first appear to be. With titles that point to the mystical capacities of nature, virtuosic brush work, and a keyed-up palette, Garrett posits landscape as a setting for transcendence.”

“Maker of the Week - Ashley Garrett”
by Tony Pallone
The Collaborative, March 16, 2021
Growing up on a farm and nurturing a lifelong fascination with horses helped Ashley Garrett to establish her mind as fertile territory for the seeds planted by her frequent interactions with nature. Much like an oyster responds to an outsider in its shell by producing a pearl, Garrett allows those seeds to blossom into abstract drawings and paintings. Her artistic approach is less about planning what she wants to say than it is about listening to what the work itself seems to want to become. For others willing to listen, each of her works has a fascinating story to tell.

SEPTEMBER presents Aegis, Ashley Garrett’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.
Aegis includes 16 of Garrett’s smallest oil paintings at 4 x 6 inches, and one of her largest works at a towering 94 x 57 inches. Garrett’s two scales mark the physical extremity of her practice, demonstrating the adjustments of perception that she exercises in her process. The installation itself requires proximity and distance. Garrett’s small works occupy the majority of the exhibition, while a singular large work embraces an unobtrusive, initially unseen space. To confront and absorb the marvel of each piece, movement is required.

Yellow ochre was one of the first colors used in art. The yellow used to produce Vermeer’s little patch of yellow wall is more or less identical to the pigment in a 17,000-year-old painting of a yellow horse at Lascaux. Yellow has a habit of getting into things. A yolk breaking in scrambled eggs. Yellow journalism was named after a particular newspaper comic character’s 19th century yellow nightshirt. In Italian, the yellow of crime novel covers in the 1930s now refers to any real or imagined crime story. In China today, “yellow movie” refers to pornography. Yellow is a complex color. In the West, surveys note people’s association of yellow with humor and spontaneity, but also duplicity. In China a hundred years ago and more, it was also the color most closely associated with the emperor. Yellow dazzles, flatters, fascinates. No coincidence that Narcissus lives on as a yellow daffodil. Yellow pages are an index, a directory of possible responses. Like Vermeer’s little yellow wall, they are surfaces that scatter sunlight, precious in themselves. -Kristen Dodge

Dear you,
I’m at a petting zoo – you know, one of those ones you can visit on a farm. ◊ attacked me and left me with ◊, but I got inside the pen and shaved them.
♦ are four sheep in late July that are overheated and need to be sheared - even in the shade they’re too hot. They’re panting hard and their whole bodies rock back and forth rapidly.
