Reception: ...What Immortal Hand or Eye... A Collection of Paintings by G.Albie Mason

Join us for a Reception on First Friday, October 3rd from 5–7pm, with the artist in attendance to meet visitors and answer questions about his work. During the Opening, Mason will feature animated VJ (video jockey) projections that are audio-reactive, accompanied by custom music in the Library's 1833 Room.

This lively and thoughtful collection of paintings celebrates what Mason calls “a universally available level of beauty,” blending traditional technique with a contemporary reverence for light and nature. “As an artist I strive with the greatest of passions to honor the light in its components that allows for my creativity to be present,” says Mason. "I wonder in awe at light in the natural world from refraction of light on a dew drop to iridescence on the living wing of an insect to bioluminescence and of course the setting and rising sun."

About the Artist:

Albie is best known for his highly developed skill of sculpting with light, achieved through layering glazes in traditional painting techniques, with both relevance to today and archetypal to the reflective critique of yesterdays. He graduated from Franklin Pierce University with a Bachelor of Fine Art in 2012 with a concentration in painting.

He can often be seen doing parkour off blossoming to senescing New England forests as a shutterbug ecologist. He has several murals in his home city of Keene, New Hampshire and strives to perfect his Vinyasa flow and dream journaling.
