Predator > Prey
Handmade Prints by:
Karli Kane Hendrickson
Artist Statement:
I am on the computer a good portion of the day for design work, so printmaking is a refreshing, hands-on, tactile escape. I wanted to work with a theme that was playful, intuitive, and simple. Illustrating a two-character vignette of an animal stalking its prey seemed like a fun way to start. I began with a fox and chicken. One print led to the next, until I had a small collection!
This show features hand printed screen and relief prints of animals and their food. Scientifically speaking, predator-prey relationships show how energy is passed from creature to creature within a habitat or ecosystem.
My prints depict herbivores, scavengers, carnivores, woodland and sea creatures as well as urban wildlife. Exploring food chains and food webs has kept this simple theme interesting for me.
Bio:A native of Mystic, Connecticut, Karli Kane Hendrickson is a graduate of Skidmore College where she received a BS degree in Studio Art, concentrating in Communication Design. Karli’s undergraduate work has been shown in group exhibitions internationally as well as locally in her hometown.
In her undergraduate thesis work Karli explored the theme of human-land interactions as seen through invented landscapes created through digital collage.
Currently, Karli is working as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator in Providence, RI while continuing to make her own art.

A group art exhibit featuring the works of Kat Murphy, Kim Abraham, Susan Hickman, Jillian Freyer, Jessie English, Alyse, Samara Margolis, Alex Adam, Adam Campos, Allen Glidden, Chad Cocilo, Spicky, Luke Martin, Denny Rivera, Rob Guess, TTK, Marcus Sminky, Grant Pollipo, Glen Freyer, Greg Bowerman, Greg Penniston, and Bromley Hooks.
Theme:
- Escapism is mental diversion by means of entertainment or recreation, as an "escape" from the perceived unpleasant or banal aspects of daily life. It can also be used as a term to define the actions people take to help relieve persisting feelings of depression or general sadness.
This being only our second group exhibit, opening night [aticc] was taken over by all the artist and admirer-ors. It was a great success.
Thank you to all of those who were apart of and to those who continue to support.

"Hidden"
Jillian Freyer
May 29 - July 21, 2010
Artist Statement:All of my previous works of art have revolved around intimacy, detail, accuracy; certain individuals, precision and what is accessible to the naked eye. When what one expects or yearns to indulge in visually, is left disclosed or isn’t provided – significant details, in absence, it leaves one responsible to engage with the artwork. Make what one wants of it. I want my viewers to let their own ideas evolve and unearth meaning to these works that pulse vacant details and lack information.
The hidden, the misunderstood; it leaves one wanting, needing, more.

Artist Statement:The great painter and teacher John Winslow once told me "Don't tell me about the painting, paint it." and "It's difficult to be verbal about the visual." At any rate, I hope you enjoy these paintings. I hope they make you smile or wonder or make a connection with you or make you look; tilt your head and make you want to physically move and view them from a different angle. Thank you, Gordon Scott.
Dedication; To Dee and baby Lila, I love you.

Featuring the work of artist Matthew Mahon
Matthew Mahon, 31
Born: Bangor, North Wales, U.K.
Resides: Waterford, CT
Moved to the U.S. in 1997 @ 19 years of age
"The Main Focus of this work for me was to have a series of pieces that included the frame work just as much as the framed piece itself."
"I started each piece with the frame and tried to use a mixed array of materials including.. recycled furniture, vinyl, cloth, wood, spray paint and photography."
Gallery Perspective"We loved the show, Matt's work is refreshing. Elegantly simple, yet raw and personable. His photographs, all taken in Hawaii, do a fine job of imitating his individual perspective on life. The value of framing brought out the importance of each piece. Looking forward to seeing future work." - Cristin Gallagher

February 6 - February 19, 2010

Re-Opening "Valentine Eve Party" February 13th @ 6pm
Elaine is an artist who is in love with love. Her art exemplifies the questionable emotion in every way. Transforming her drawings into large prints onto a canvas fabric that delicately floats from the ceiling covering the walls of our own [aticc] gallery. The opening reception for Elaine was extremely well attended. Since her premiere "True Love" exhibit at the Emporium in Mystic, CT last year she has created a following. Of those that maybe share the same appreciation for all things "love". After walking into the gallery/ boutique you quickly realize you are walking into an installation that was created with much attention to detail.
Hope you can come by and enjoy this although short, well worth it exhibit!
Valentine's Day gift you say? Well Elaine Chung has not only dressed our gallery, she is sure to dress you! Tshirts that share the same images that hang on the wall. Valentine's Day cards that are so delicately unique, you will be sending an extreme amount of love to those you may miss. Also featuring decorated hat boxes made by Jillian Freyer, a box never looked so good!

In trying to write an “artist” statement for my first solo show I have decided it best to not and may just ramble for a bit. I tried to word it to not sound like a kook, I tried to dedicate it but always felt like I was leaving someone out. So fuck it. These are paintings, drawings, random ideas that I have had pop into my head that I decided to put out in one way or another, All in all, I would like to say thank you to the people who deserve it and to the music I listened to while making all of this. A special thank you goes out to Denny and Cristin for making all this possible. And then there was Knucklegrease.

To All The Girls...
Artist: TTK
Exhibit showing November 21st to December 21st, 2009
Born on a treacherous stormy night in the summer of '79 in Jacksonville, FL to Edward & Darlene Harris. Started drawing in '82 & hasn't stopped since. Even though he is a painter/fine artist, TTK is known worldwide as a reknown sneaker customizer. He has won numerous awards, produced work for celebrities, & worked with footwear brands. His work has been published in 'Custom Kicks' by Laurence King publishing. He has also been featured on the History channel along with being a featured live artist on the Sneaker Pimps world tour. His work can be seen at WWW.GOTTKGO.COM & at Sole Food NYC in Manhattan.
Statement:To All The Girls... is an idea I've had for years. I never pursued it until now. I hate being boxed into a category, I prefer to be unpredictable. This project may raise a few eyebrows, but oh well. If you're not taking risk, you're not living.
"Opening night was a blast, and greatly received! Surprising to the sensitive eye, but intriguing to the wide minded. Pictures tell it all, stop by and check it out first hand"

DAYS ON END
OPENING SEPT 12TH 6-10PM
Exhibit showing September 12th to October 15, 2009
15 & 140-B Green Street, New London CT
Boston based illustrator SCOTT MONTEIRO and his partner in crime LIAM BOYLE are creating a comic about zombies. In Scott's words: "It is soooooo much more than that. This is our story. This is how people like us, our generation would react in the face of a crisis of this proportion. Will our slacker generation have what it takes to pull itself together in order to conquer this or will they fall prey their own inflated sense of self worth and misguided logic, tearing themselves apart in the process?
I’ll give you the tiniest of hints: both Liam and myself hate happy endings." This is a work in progress & the show reflects what is the beginning of a comic book or perhaps a graphic novel.
The story will be told between two galleries in New London directly across the street from each other, so when the work leaves you wanting more, there will be...
Both galleries will be open during the day with new merchandise for sale from t-shirts, bags, denim, hand sewn clothes from local designers and a special artist series from DAYS ON END.
