"Chelsea as Muse"
by Michael St.Germain
The works in this post were funded by a grant from the Chelsea (MA) Cultural Council. In the first half of 2011, I took photographs in and around Chelsea.
Recently, I painted on them with india ink.
In the near future, I will scan, enlarge and present these works as posters at Chelsea venues.

Michael St.Germain and Richard Dorff at Atlantic Works Gallery through September 24.
Colors do not exist without white but what is white without color?
In this show, Richard Dorff and Michael St.Germain explore this question with a focused selection of approaches and materials.
Rice flour is used to make paste for a sixteen-foot "toilet papier-mache" diptych which is draped in subtle bas relief shadows. Casting plaster is used to create intentional and process generated objects which explore shading and ambient color in the context of a generic "white" gallery.
A linear installation of "white" paint sample cards is activated and revealed by applied black gesso marks. A suspended box of natural white birch containing daylight-mimicking light tubes reveals the inherent elusive and subtle nature of white.
Works are displayed at a variety of heights and most of the gallery wall space is intentionally left vacant so that indirect lighting may lead the viewer's attention to the volume of the space which is integral to the activation of works on display.
