The Fort Point Arts Community Gallery is pleased to announce the second exhibition for the 2014/15 season, Narrative/Non-Narrative: Two Artistic Approaches, featuring the work of Mario Kon and Beverly Sky. The show was juried by Andrew Witkin, Gallery Director of Barbara Krakow Gallery. Narrative/Non Narrative features the work of longtime Boston artists Beverly Sky (Boston Center for the Arts, Artist Studio Building) and Mario Kon (Fort Point Channel Artist Communit), who approach art-making from two distinctly different perspectives and concerns. Ultimately, giving form to a particular truth is what both artists work towards. Beverly Sky’s work adheres to the precept that a picture is worth a thousand words. Ms. Sky utilizes fabric collage as a medium to express ideas and stories that engage her aesthetic and intellectual curiosity. Mario Kon’s work follows a non-narrative approach, rejecting the assumption that art should be didactic and rational and instead rely on a direct visual experience of the work. Mr. Kon approaches his work with an organic and spontaneous energy. Whether sculpting, carving or painting on wood, he creates visual tensions that transform the surfaces geometrically.

Opening Reception: Thursday, October 23, 5–7 p.m.

Gallery hours: Wednesday-Friday 10–6 p.m. and by appointment
