Lori Warner Studio/Gallery

Opening Friday June 10, 6-8 pm

N E S T as defined is a structure or place made or chosen for sheltering.  This exhibit explores the idea of nest in three media in a collaborative spirit amongst three prominent Connecticut artists  –  Lori Warner, Dina Varano and Pat Smith. The three artists worked closely together to develop and expand this idea with weekly studio visits over several months where they shared ideas, images, readings and critiqued nascent pieces, materials and techniques.

From a distance nests can look haphazard, but at close examination one can see the deliberate structure.   When Dina Varano creates her art for this collection, she considers the timely process of placing each twig, vine, or delicate grass. “I create a mantra during the process,” says Dina, “and in the end, those delicate lines build a strong structure – an ordered chaos that has purpose and grace.”

Mark Simon of Centerbrook Architects at Lori Warner Gallery

In Art, Chester CT Events on October 21, 2010 at 11:03 am

November 6,  Saturday, 5 – 7pm

Mark Simon of Centerbrook Architects will be talking about his design process, influences and work. His award-winning “Slapstick” table will be on view and discussed.

Lori Warner Gallery is the exclusive local representative for the Centerbrook Dining Table. Designed by Mark Simon of Centerbrook Architects, it is truly a functional sculpture.

The Centerbrook Table has garnered several significant design awards including, but not limited to, the Silver Medal in the International Design Excellence Award 2008, and the GOOD DESIGN Award 2009, which is conferred annually by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, together with The European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

A modern take on a classic farm table, the Centerbrook Table and bench (also available) boast an unconventional crisscrossing leg detail and offers an ideal surface for work or dining. Hand crafted from solid Appalachian black cherry in your choice of the six hand-applied wood finishes. Samples are shown at the gallery.

To purchase the table visit Lori Warner Gallery.

Artist Clarence Morgan presents fantastical compositions of abstract biomorphic density.  Soft and sharp, full and empty, active and still, this seasoned artist delights in enigmatic creations that challenge all our notions of art and life. The exhibition, entitled “Light Affliction,” runs November 3rd to November 28th, with an opening reception scheduled for November 5th from 6-9pm.
