Gallery Reception

The New Hampshire Furniture Masters
On Thursday, July 15th, I attended a reception for the New Hampshire Furniture Masters at the Lamont Gallery. On exhibit were furniture pieces from a dozen artists from New England. The event was well attended and the artists on hand each had groups of furniture collectors and admirers jockeying for their attention. I have come to know a few of the artists from this group and have developed the beginnings of what i hope to be long working relationships. Below are some examples of work from the people i spoke to the most.

"Two Energies Foyer Tree" by Brian Sargent. I like the way Brian used mixed materials in this hall piece. I also make mixed material works and think of my materials in a similar way.

"Waitsfield Side Tables" by Sam Norris. Sam's tables are simple but supremely elegant and finely crafted.

"Botswana Recollection" is by my next door neighbor Jeffrey Cooper.

The "New Wave Table" by Tom McLaughlin was not in this show but will be in the upcoming auction next month.

Likewise "Contemporary Bergere" by Aurelio Bolognesi was also absent but soon to be seen.
