Clemens Gallery 2012:
Photography of Zoe Cataldo - January 7 - February 2
The camera has no secret; it captures what we see, and more often the weathered beauty we tend to overlook. “Look & Sea” is a collection of photographs by Zoe Cataldo, showcasing both hidden and obvious magnificence.

Ben Kerman: Bhutan Photographs - February 4 - March 1
Pause…
Look, at the rays of light fan-spreading through the hole in the clouds in bright blue New Mexican sky. Feel, gentle warm moist wind of a Florida evening against your skin. Hear, fresh fall scrape of dried leaves windblown tumbling over a harvested Western Mass cornfield.
Smell, honeysuckle blooms as you walk by a Kentucky hedgerow.
Without technical sleight of hand, just my feet carrying me, five senses and heart responding to that which is around me, I want to bring you to these places I love and perhaps to one of those moments when you are swept away. Visit Ben Kerman's website.

Photography of Eduardo Lacerda - March 31 - April 26
My name is Eduardo Lacerda, born and raised in Sao Paolo, Brazil. In
2001 I 
decided to make a change in my life and I moved to New York City. One day visiting MOMA I saw an Henri Cartier Bresson exhibition. It was a huge impact on me and a truly inspiring moment.
Encouraged by friends and photography courses I decided to start my photographer's journey. So far I have achieved 3 awards which shows that I'm on the right path. This exhibition includes selections from some of my favorite series. I hope everyone who's going to attend can feel just as inspired through my work as I have through others. Visit Eduardo Lacerda's website.

Photography of Dennis Burke - June 2 - June 28
I grew up in Amherst. After residing in New 
Hampshire for a number of years, time served in both the Army and the Air Force, and a long career in the world of corporate software development, I am happy to once again call the Amherst area home. All of the photographs included in this exhibit were taken in the beautiful Connecticut River Valley, a joyous celebration of my returning home at last.
Drawings of Sandra Burke - June 30 - August 2
My work consists of original stone lithographs as well as silverpoint drawings. I presently reside in the Amherst area with my husband.
The silverpoint was used during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the precursor of the graphite pencil. Drawing with a silver stylus requires that the drawing surface first be coated with an applied ground. With the passage of time, the lovely gray tones oxidize, imparting a soft gray-brown appearance to the delicate lines of the silverpoint drawing
Taken from the Greek lithos, “stone” and graphein, “to write”, lithography is the total act of drawing on Bavarian Limestone with a mixture of black pigment and some form of grease, such as crayon, chemically treating the drawing, proofing it, and finally, by means of a specially constructed press, printing the image yourself in order to regulate and multiply the original visual statement.
Paintings by Meghan Gayton - August 4 - September 6
As a little girl, I always enjoyed the relaxing yet mindless task of painting a
canvas according to prescribed numbers. About five years ago, I purchased one at a local art supply store on a nostalgic whim with every intent to possibly throw out or hide the finished result.
While painting, however, I started to wonder how I could potentially reinvent what many consider "art-less" art and produce a piece of work that I'd be proud to display. I first decided to defy the mandated color pattern by reassigning new numbers to each color pot. Then I subjected several paintings to the knife to reconfigure or shatter the image and discover a "canvas within the canvas". And to create tension between the controlling nature of the Paint-by-Number exercise and the freedom of artistic expression, I had a lot of fun painting OVER the lines and adding a structural component. I'm hoping that by examining the collection, the viewer may question the purpose of art and job of the artist.
Photography of Lisa Tang Liu - September 8 - October 4
Abandonment, Loss, and Decay
Over the years, Lisa Tang Liu's photography has revisited the theme of "abandonment, loss, and decay." In this collection, she exhibits a range of photographic techniques and media--from film-based, darkroom-produced prints to a composite made from iPhone images. These images were captured in various locales such as Quincy, Utah, Idaho, and China.
Lisa has exhibited her work in solo and group shows in Massachusetts and New York. She lives with her family in Quincy. Visit Lisa Tang Liu's website.
Dominique Lecomte: Woodcuts & Line Drawings - October 6 - November 1
My works, whether they are prints, photos or short stories, are a mix of impressions, the ones I had at the time I traveled, the ones I have when I am 
working and remembering these times; I want to express a memory more than reproduce a detailed scenery, so I create images opened to interpretation, conveying the message you want them to convey.
After a sabbatical year spent to take Art courses at the School of Images in Epinal (France), Dominique starts exhibiting oil and acrylic on canvas, then etchings. He also travels a lot and in 1994, he goes to the USA to teach in an international school. Gradually, he specializes in landscapes made with relief printing techniques and watercolors, but he keeps using photography as a visual travel log. Visit Dominique Lecomte's website.
Judy & Glenn Pollock: Color of Black & White - November 13 - 29
From a perceptual framework, when humans look at a color photo we first see the colors. If we see the same photo only in black and white we immediately see the other aspects of the image; subject, form, shape, tonality and texture. By eliminating the color from a photograph, reality is peeled back, exposing those aspects for closer scrutiny, and appreciation. To paraphrase Canadian photographer Ted Grant, when you photograph an image in color, you are photographing its ‘clothes’. But when you photograph an image in black & white, you are photographing its ‘soul’. In black and white photography, you Suggest; in color photography, you State. More can be implied by suggestion than statement, leaving viewers more flexibility in interpreting an image.
Oil Paintings of Christina Eckerson - December 1 - January 3, 2013
Local artist, Christina Eckerson, has been painting on the South Shore for 15 years. Working in oils, Christina finds inspiration from the beauty of New England: the long shadows of the early morning, the light of the high sun, the 
graceful lines of an old dory, the colors of the seasons. The spectacular landscape of Maine is also often the subject of her work. Painting is all about the creative process for her. There is no greater accomplishment than interpreting the natural world in way to be enjoyed by others long after the moment and the artist are gone. “ Painting feels like breathing if you are an artist. It is fulfilling, necessary, and exhilarating.” The December show will feature many small works of Hingham scenes.
