After his successful opening at LoLa 41 last week we thought you might like this Kerry Hallam interview we found on YouTube, with the great man waxing lyrical and talking of ”Painting.. the telling of beautiful untruths”.
You can also pick a copy of his book Getting To Nantucket: An Artist’s Journey on Amazon.

We spent a couple of hours on YouTube scoping out the Nantucket content and found some nice clips on there posted by Doerte Neudert at the Art Cabinet, including this virtual tour of the gallery.. a great idea.

The Art Season on Nantucket starts in earnest this weekend with the Artists Association of Nantucket’s Sidewalk Art Show.
The Sidewalk Art Show was founded in 1930 by the illustrator and painter Maud Stumm as an outdoor exhibition originally sited along the walls of Nantucket Atheneum. The show was open to all artists, professional or amateur and was a resounding success, drawing hundreds of visitors. Of the original show The Inquirer and Mirror reviewer wrote:
“The wide shady walk by the library was an ideal place to examine and discuss Art and the beauty of Nantucket, which was the principal subject of the oil, water-color, black and white studies displayed. Little children, tourists, sailors, townspeople came again and again, eagerly examining the varied aspects of the Island, and deciding which was truest to life.”

The Two Percent is a new Art site based in New York that claims only 2% of the cities galleries are worth seeing, and aims to show you which they are.
It’s a pretty aggressive stance to take - and we look forward to our next trip into the city to see if they got it right.

Anyone planning a trip off island into New York over the next few months could do alot worse than pop along to the The Andrew Edlin Gallery - currently playing host to one of the most celebrated examples of outsider artists America has ever known.
Henry Joseph Darger was a reclusive American writer and artist who became famous for his posthumously discovered 15,145-page fantasy manuscript called The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is known as the Realms of the Unreal along with several hundred beautiful and brilliant drawings and watercolor paintings illustrating the story.
