His elegant\, gestural works are the product of a well-established personal studio practice\, as well as working as an educator for many years. His craftsmanship and technical ingenuity allow him to build from an agglomeration of natural and human-made materials in intriguing\, and often unexpected ways. \nMauren states: “Conceptual strategies\, improvised construction methods\, and structural inventions drive my sculptural ideas and processes. Important influences for my work derive from observing the endless diversity of unembellished winter-woodland ecosystems. I am not interested in illustrating landscape. Instead\, I prefer to explore a broad range of compatible and disparate relationships that offer promise and resistance\, opening opportunities to engage in the discovery of freshly animated forms. This leads to unexpected revelations infused with history and disjointed conclusions.” \nAbout the ArtistPaul Mauren earned his BFA and MFA at Eastern Michigan University. During the early 1980s\, he served as Master Teacher of Sculpture at The New York State Summer School for the Arts\, sponsored by the New York State Education Department and the State University of New York at Fredonia. He was a Professor of Art at The Center for Art and Design\, the College of Saint Rose for 40 years\, where he taught undergraduate and graduate sculpture since 1978. Paul is an alumni residency artist at Sculpture Space\, Inc. in Utica\, NY\, and he recently participated in the Salem-to-Salem artist residency program at Salem Art Works in Salem\, NY. \nMauren’s recent exhibitions include “Rebound”\, Five New York State Artists\, Sandy Hills Arts Center\, Hudson Falls\, NY\, Curated by Dan Cameron.  “Force”\, curated by Pearl Cafritz at the Southern Vermont Arts Center\, Manchester\, VT\, and “Something”\, Mauren Sculpture / Brodie Painting\, a two-person exhibition at the Onondaga Community College gallery\, Syracuse\, NY.  He has exhibited widely\, with exhibitions in New York State at Albany Center Gallery\, Albany; Art/Omi\, Ghent; Jamaica Art Center\, Queens; Albany Institute of History and Art\, Albany; Albany International Airport Gallery\, Albany; Sculpture Center\, New York City; Hudson Valley Community College\, Troy; Queens College\, Queens; Hartwick College\, Oneonta; Union College\, Schenectady; Opalka Gallery\, Sage Colleges\, Albany; Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute\, Utica. His work has also been included in exhibitions at Williams College\, Williamstown\, MA; Southern Vermont Arts Center\, Manchester\, VT; Chesterwood Museum\, Stockbridge\, MA; University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, MI; and Columbus Museum of Art\, Columbus\, OH.

She sews by hand and works intuitively\, allowing the forms to grow organically into complex aggregates of color\, pattern\, and texture. The resulting sculptures gradually emerge as anthropomorphic and bodily: they droop\, gesture\, and hold space. Washburn’s work visualizes the patchwork of identity-forming and the complex joy of existing inside a body. \nJog your Memory is about the colors\, patterns\, forms\, and gestures that remind you of something. Sometimes those connections are strong and vibrant; sometimes they are fuzzy or choppy. Washburn uses the materials of everyday life to build up sculptures with distinct personalities. Washburn will occasionally incorporate the literal object or material from her past—or\, if she no longer has the thing\, will recreate the specific pattern or item in her own hand. \nJog Your Memory also marks the first time Washburn has displayed several of her hanging sculptures together\, a relatively new part of her practice. The hanging sculptures occupy the space of suspended items found in the home: hanging planters\, light fixtures\, and chandeliers. They are inspired in particular by her great grandmother’s front porch—a place Washburn remembers as sunlit and filled with many delightful hanging objects: flowers and bird cages and other intriguing things. Washburn’s hanging sculptures also serve the purpose of occupying the space between the floor\, the wall\, and the ceiling\, interrupting the exhibition and interrupting your thoughts. Washburn thinks of them as representing the way a memory can stop you in your tracks. \nAbout the Artist \nHanna Washburn is an artist and curator based in Beacon\, New York. Washburn’s work has been featured in publications including The New York Times\, Hyperallergic\, Cult Bytes\, and the Femme Art Review. Exhibition venues include SPRING/BREAK Art Fair (New York\, NY)\, the Dorsky Museum of Art (New Paltz\, NY)\, NADA Art Fair (New York\, NY)\, Wassaic Project (Wassaic\, NY)\, Munson (Utica\, NY)\, Sotheby’s Institute of Art (New York\, NY)\, and Rice University (Houston\, TX). Washburn has held artist residences at organizations including Haystack Mountain School (2023)\, Monson Arts (2020)\, Vermont Studio Center (2019)\, the Textile Arts Center (2018)\, and the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Colony (2018). \nWashburn received her MFA in Fine Art from the School of Visual Arts in 2018\, and her BA in Fine Art and English Literature from Kenyon College in 2014. She currently works in the Curatorial Department at Storm King Art Center. \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets in Lake George\, NY. During scheduled exhibitions dates our in-person office and gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm.  If you need to reach us between active exhibition dates we are available through phone and/or email: \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Town and Village of Lake George and LGAP members.

It’s a way to process and relate to the world\, like conversing with a person or chewing food. My first response to an idea or event is to interpret it\, to make it something I can see. A phrase like “drunken centaur\,” doesn’t go far on its own\, but by turning it over this way and that\, finding forms for invisible notions\, and inviting in accident and precedent\, painting becomes a space of illumination. It’s a way to get past words. In the open space of the page\, metaphors popup like sudden jokes\, fully formed and emblematic. Imagination here isn’t about escape or fancy; it’s a matter of engaging the mind’s eye as the primary interpretive tool. \nI use oil paints\, often making my own. It’s mesmerizing stuff that takes on endless qualities. It mixes so easily with the eye\, ready to become something\, making suggestions as if it has its own desires. Looking closely into it shows something of the mystery of substance and representation altogether\, of how the material world conspires with perception\, mind\, and knowledge to make up our experience. I pay attention to the vitality of the paint layers and the movement of the surface. There are moments like “ah\, I’ve seen that in so and so”—passages of paint that share in a lineage. \nI paint with a range of historical approaches not to mimic a look\, but as a practice. There’s wisdom in method and material. There’s richness. Technical investigation sheds light on and expands the creative process beyond notions of a verisimilitude or style. Painting is an outlook. Rather than just dressing up the ancients in modern clothes\, I see these processes as incisive analytical tools\, like finding an old hand-ground lens that still magnifies whatever it’s placed in front of. \nBio \nJeff Wigman has shown regularly since moving his studio upstate in 2006.

The theme is the house as a repository of personal and historical memory\, as well as a metaphor for the self. The compositions have moved from the exterior of these “Rag” houses to their inhabited interiors\, the figures almost hermetic in their solitary pursuits\, which hint at pursuits of self-knowledge. \nThe Icarus Unbound paintings that follow dramatize how these interior monologues might unfold\, rewriting this Greek myth to suit the process. This suite of 6 paintings also mirror a three year therapeutic process with a Jungian Analyst in which I became aware of my path on The Hero’s Journey. Icarus is given a second chance to learn to fly and he does it with the agency of the Divine Feminine\, with whom he ultimately finds union. \nAll of the paintings I make are in some fashion self-portraits and because the themes are common to us all\, they touch on broader archetypal experiences that go beyond my own personal reflections. \n  \nBio \nI have been a painter and a teacher for over forty years and have exhibited my work in many different venues across the Mid Atlantic. I have recently relocated to the Hudson River Valley from Delaware\, where I was Chair of the Arts Department at an Independent Boarding school for 20+ years. \nI am currently teaching art history for Vassar’s Life Long Learning Institute and developing a series of paintings reinterpreting Classic Greek mythological tales. My reimagining of the Icarus story is travelling to 3 separate galleries this year\, including the Lake George Arts Project. I live with my wife\, Elizabeth\, a ceramicist\, and dog\, Bear\, in Dutchess County.  My Daughter\, Olivia\, is an illustrator in NYC and son\, Aidan\, is a builder and sculptor who lives nearby. \n \n \n Click here for recorded Zoom Conversation with John McGiff\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thank you to our exhibition sponsors!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Images: Top: Icarus Awakes in the Garden\, Gouache\, 36″ x 48″             Above: The Serenade\, 2021\,Gouache\, 30” x 38” URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/john-mcgiff-painting-as-vision/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Courthouse Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Icarus_wakes_in_the_Garden-e1713105131814.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240710T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240811T160000 DTSTAMP:20260420T031156 CREATED:20240611T164930Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240917T213334Z UID:14364-1720612800-1723392000@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Cadence Giersbach: Through the Summer Garden DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL EXHIBITION RELATED EVENTS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Constellation\, 2022\, Glazed Porcelain\, 15 x 9 x 8 in \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ARTIST’S RECEPTION\nSaturday\, July 13th4:00 – 6:00 PM\nArtist Talk at 5:00 PM\nJoin LGAP staff\, the artist and friends to celebrate the work of Cadence Giersbach – free and open to all\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ZOOM CONVERSATION\nWITH CADENCE GIERSBACH\nWednesday\, July 17th7:00 -8:00 PM\nClick here to join the conversation!\n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SUNDAY ARTS\nSunday\, August 11th12:00 – 4:00 PM\nGallery tour and art-making opportunity for ALL ages Free of charge\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n VISIT CADENCE'S WEBSITE\n \n FOLLOW HER ON FACEBOOK\n \n FOLLOW HER ON INSTAGRAM\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n from the artist’s Instagram page \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Through the Summer Garden...\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nSTATEMENT\nDrawing inspiration from my garden in upstate New York\, I create painted paper-pulp sculptures and fabric paintings. I am fascinated by the world encapsulated in the small piece of earth surrounding my home—its textures\, shapes\, and gestures—and the sensations and memories it evokes. As I dig the soil\, lift stones\, and plant seeds\, I am a participant and an observer\, keenly aware of the shifting ecology around me. I combine abstract\, symbolic\, and figurative references to living things and geological formations with ancient archetypes like spirals\, snakes\, and stars to create layers of association and explore our complex relationship with the natural world. For instance\, a series of sewn kite-shaped paintings alludes to the sensation of being grounded on the earth while looking upward\, connected to the sky. Paintings are not stretched or primed\, so their surfaces undulate\, while the sculptures’ textures are rough and jagged\, reminiscent of a mountain range\, or smooth like a boulder. Paint often drips and flows like streams in the landscape. Color is heightened or used symbolically\, and shapes are exaggerated to portray the garden as a place of memory\, sensation\, and thought. My intention is to animate the work and coax it into expressing the story it contains. With each piece\, I strive to elicit visceral emotions that connect us to the earth and sky and inspire curiosity\, empathy\, and care. The garden is a metaphor for life’s beauty\, intensity\, and fragility.\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY\nInspired by the materiality of the natural landscape\, Cadence Giersbach (b. 1966\, New York\, NY) creates abstract paintings and sculptures.

Claiming dual citizenship as an Iranian and North American\, he has spent much of his life on the east coast and in Michigan. \nElami works exclusively on paper in an often limited palette\, with the resulting works resembling prints or bookplates. They appear to be timeless\, as if found from a remote past in a secret library. Each piece resembles the type of anthropological or archeological drawings made to document temples\, palaces\, sacrificial sites\, or necropolises found in jungles\, and not fully understood by their discoverers. Elami\, in depicting undefined architectural sites of relics or ruins\, allows us to dream of uses both sacred and profane; to explore the tension between human design and nature on the verge of reclaiming its primacy. Elami’s latest art has developed in tandem with an understanding of the earliest architecture as numinous altars\, and a perception of nature as a roiling mass of aggressive life\, perpetuating itself through overabundance. In this vision\, architecture manifested out of violent\, spiritual rituals\, externalizing what is internal. Elami sees architecture\, revitalized with its primitive and mythopoeic qualities\, as a portal back to a cosmos overflowing with meaning and mystery. \n  \n \n LEARN MORE ABOUT ARIO ELAMI'S WORK\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Images from top\nWorld Machine III\, Colored Pencil\, pen and watercolor on paperWorld Machine II\, Colored Pencil\, pen\, and watercolor on paperTemple to a Fungal Spirit\, Colored pencil\, pen\, and watercolor on paper\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Courthouse Gallery\n1 Lower Amherst StreetLake George\, NY 12845518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PMSaturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PMSundays: 12:00 – 4:00 PM (June – September)Select Sundays Monthly (October – May)\nOr give us a call if you are in town.
