Ceramic sculpture and enamel paint on panel
June 2007

Her sculpture and my paintings reflect our individual attraction to the human figure, nature, the spirits, strings, energy and motion. We work to bring these varied themes out in sculpture and paint as abstract forms.

There’s an exhilaration we get in taking two entirely different mediums and “playing” with them together. We are open up to the influences of each other in our work and in new ways to continually achieve new outcomes. Sometimes we are working from an idea that we conceive together and play back and forth with - from beginning to end. Sometimes I create a piece that Joey plays off of and sometimes Joey creates a piece that I plays off of. This collaboration adds an exciting innovative element to the joy that we already experience in our individual work.

This past year Joey and I were included in a group exhibition at the Lascano Gallery in Great Barrington, MA in May 2007. Then in July 2007 we had a two person show at the NAC Gallery in Norwich, CT. We have shown together in other places as well and are always interested in hearing about exhition opportunitues. [E-MAIL ADDRESS]

We work out of our cozy passive solar “art space” home, yard and studios in Cannan, Connecticut just over the line from Sheffield, Mass. With Joey’s pottery studio downstairs looking out on our terrace and my painting studio upstairs with a view of The Berkshires.

We hope our listing on Berkshires Week with the link to this blog will put us in touch with other area artists and art collectors. We will post upcoming exhibitions, open studio dates and events that we will have at our “art space” home, yard and studio here, as well as new collaborative work and news.

Please send us a comment. Let us know you are out there.

Best wishes,
Bernie Re and Joey Jablonski
