Cove Gallery Exhibitions
Cove Gallery is currently closed for the season. The Gallery, operated by the Rocky Neck Art Colony, hosts a robust schedule of exhibitions from late spring into the early fall. The spacious and sun-filled gallery is located on the Smith Cove waterfront in America’s oldest working art colony, an area that attracts visitors all season long to shop for fine art and crafts, visit historic sites, and dine in nearby restaurants.

The Language of Presence
Curated by Robin Colodzin
Exhibition Dates: May 7-18
The solo exhibition brings together three bodies of work: oil paintings that begin with close observation of the natural world and then depart from the immediate scene, allowing an invented reality to emerge; cave wall paintings that draw on the texture and sensibility of prehistoric cave art, reaching across time toward the earliest forms of human mark-making; and text paintings built from a journaling practice noting ordinary moments of sensory experience, letting the words themselves to become visual marks.
