New Hampshire Antique Co-op is pleased to present Transcending the Ordinary: Abstract, Assemblage & Collage, an art exhibit and sale of more than 50 works including artists Joseph Cornell, Varujan Boghosian, Josef Albers, Louise Nevelson, as well as contemporary artists Roz Park, Chris Myott, Jan Lhormer, Naomi Savage, Jessie Pollock, Peter Sandback and more.
Collage and assemblage art has its roots in surrealism, borrowing from that movement the concept of unexpected juxtaposition. Artist Joseph Cornell (1903-1972) was one of the earliest artists to practice this art form. He used found objects, relics and trinkets from his everyday life to create shadow boxes filled with assembled objects. These creations evoke far more than the modest contents used.
Varujan Boghosian, a noted NH-based collage & assemblage artist, draws inspiration for his art from many sources such as literature, art, music and history. His works often reflect his affinity for myth and symbolism, most often seen in his use of swans and serpents. Boghosian has held a number of teaching positions including Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, where he continues to maintain his studio. Boghosian’s artwork is widely acclaimed and can be viewed in museums across the country: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Currier Museum, Whitney and Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Roz Park, known for her abstract paintings and collage/assemblage pieces, utilizes oil paint, watercolors, photography, fibers and natural objects to create enigmatic pieces. Her works have been exhibited at Boston Center for the Arts’ Mills Gallery in Boston, as well as in galleries throughout New Hampshire, recently winning an award at the 2017 Biennial at the Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery.
Visit Transcending the Ordinary: Abstract, Assemblage & Collage and its unexpected artwork. Enjoy bold paintings, collage and other modern works forged from paper, paint, wood and metal. Immerse yourself in the unbounded, wildly creative and abstract visions of the modern artists included in the show.
