Sidle House – Closing Receptions

Join Sidle House Gallery for the closing reception of their two summer shows; ‘Installations,’ and ‘Revelations: Painting in Reverse.’

Reception is Free & Open to the Public

The exhibitions will be on view through July 19, 2025. Gallery hours are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 3-6pm and by appointment,  through July 19.

‘Installations,’ a play on words emphasizing stalls once used for cows, goats, and sheep – is a novel way to explore the gallery’s barn spaces. Artists Ian Trask, Erin Bundock, Hannah Berta, Ashley Page, Kate Gerwig, Samantha Rand, and Justine Lasdin, were invited to remake the various barn chambers with their distinctive materials and techniques. Visitors will be able to immerse themselves within and inhabit these characteristic and connected worlds.
‘Revelations: Painting in Reverse,’ in the Studio gallery, is Maine’s introduction to Mexico and New York-based artist Bobbi Van. Through her paintings in reverse on transparent surfaces, Van explores “the spaces in between sound and silence, thought and action, arrival and departure, movement and stillness.” Art critic Siba Kumar Das wrote, “In giving voice to her feelings and ideas, Van creates paintings that signify their presence through sheer expressiveness. Images and colors and textures have infinite possibilities… …Van explores their frontiers even as she surrenders to them, the end product being things of great resonance and beauty.”
