We are happy to welcome Brett Polonsky at the Community Center Gallery gallery! Polonsky likes to stay creative with his work, experimenting with different techniques. "I have been focusing on oil and oil pastel on canvas over the last recent years," says Polonsky. "I love the fluidity and texture of oils, and for the most part I work wet on wet. My work is generally considered abstract but often has some visually identifiable elements."

Art on Main Gallery
One Main St.
"Corrosion Blooms" by Brooke Fotheringham
Exhibition Dates: October 14 - January 1, 2024
The Art on Main Gallery is featuring an installation made of mixed media acrylic, polyester and photo paper lenticular triptych titled "Corrosion Blooms" by artist Brooke Fotheringham. The artist states that "this lenticular triptych is an exploration of entropy and corrosion, a daydream about how the universe is continually breaking things down to their base elements in an infinite cycle of rebuilding. Infrastructure crumbles as oxides grow and bloom out of them. The generative and destructive no longer opposites, but rather a series of reactions and evolutions on a shared continuum."
