An amazing opening night at Gallery in the Woods; great live music, great art and most of all

Great People!
Thank you to all who came out to support me on my opening night.   It was wonderful to see you after this long year of hard work and sequester.
The feedback for this new work was more than I could have hoped for!    It was also so nice to meet so many new people.

The biggest surprise and gift of the night was (after 20 years or so) to see my best friend from college who stopped in all the way from Ware, MA with her family!   Thank you Miranda for making my night truly special, It was so great to see you and catch up a bit.

For those who missed opening night, my show is up through Jan. and I invite you to stop in at your leisure to see it. Thank you again and much appreciation. Xo~Alicia

Here is one of the wall installations from my current show "Transcendent" at the Geissler Gallery. (one wall of 5) This show will be up through October 28th and is located at Stoneleigh-Burnham School in Greenfield, MA.

Showing in this massive space was such a wonderful experience as it allowed me to see my work
for the first time from such a far perspective.  The paintings in this photo are large at 30"x 30" and they look decievingly small.  This space also granted me the opportunity to see a large body of my work together in one space.   The gallery hours are 9am to 4 pm Monday -Friday.  I hope you will stop in and enjoy the show.

Interview with Whole Terrain Environmental Journal

I recently had the pleasure to be interviewed by by Cherice Bock, editor of Whole Terrain Environmental Journal as a follow up to a visual essay which appeared in the latest volume #21: Metamorphosis. I hope you will enjoy it!

Supernova

Supernova, Alicia Hunsicker, 2015
12" x 12" x 1.5", acrylic on cradle board

A little studio update:
I have been painting but not as proficiently as I would like. I am still waiting for my new glasses and stronger lens prescription to arrive (any day now!).    I have been working on a large 30"x30" painting which will be done soon and I finished this one to the left "Supernova" this past week. 

I will be having an interview released with Whole Terrain Journal on this coming Monday the 15th.  I will put a link in when it is posted. If you are interested in reading other interviews that I have done over the years you can find them at this Link.

Musica Universalis

Musica Universalis, Alicia Hunsicker, 2015
12x12, acrylic on cradle board

 Painting has been slow going over the last month as I have discovered that I need to upgrade my eyeglass prescription. I am painting much smaller and more detailed panels these days and maybe that has something to do with the amount of eye strain that I have been experiencing. I hope that when the new glasses arrive it will improve the length of my painting sessions and I can make up for some lost time toward my next show deadline.  I have been really enjoying weaving these lines and forms into a multi-dimentional space.

I am pleased to finally present the painting I have been working on for the last several weeks. It is the next painting in the 2015 Cosmic Bloom series, titled:
 "Musica Universalis" (Music of the Spheres in Latin)


from Wikipedia:
Musica universalis (lit. universal music, or music of the spheres) or Harmony of the Spheres is an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies—the Sun, Moon, and planets—as a form of musica (the Medieval Latin term for music). This "music" is not usually thought to be literally audible, but a harmonic and/or mathematical and/or religious concept. The idea continued to appeal to thinkers about music until the end of the Renaissance, influencing scholars of many kinds, including humanists.

Galileo

Galileo, 5" x7.5",acrylic on cradle board
Alicia Hunsicker, 2015

 

I took the week off after delivering my work to the show at Omega and now I am getting back to work painting for my next show at the Geissler Gallery.  I just finished this little one (5" x 7.5") that I am calling "Galileo" after
Galileo Galilei, an Italian physicist, mathematician, engineer, astronomer, and philosopher. 

Galileo played a major role in the scientific revolution during the Renaissance. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy  the "father of modern physics", and the "father of science"^.

Metamorphosis: Whole Terrain Journal

I am so pleased to have received my contributor’s copies of Whole Terrain Journal, Metamorphosis, Volume 21

Sometime last year I was asked to contribute some of my artwork for a visual essay on Metamorphosis. I worked with the editors of Whole Terrain who picked out several paintings to include along with a small essay I was asked to write on how Metamorphosis is applied in my work. 

I am so excited to see that they did a 4 page spread in the center of this issue with my contribution.

You can order a copy or explore further at the link below.

Whole Terrain, Antioch University New England’s journal of reflective environmental practice, is dedicated to the experience of those who have chosen the environment as the basis of their professional work. It cultivates reflective thought and mindful awareness in an effort to create a balance between humanity and the Earth.

Metamorphosis is transformation, a significant change occurring over a period of time forever altering a being, object, species, or community.

Contributors of this issue of Whole Terrain explore various metamorphic process from a variety of scales and perspectives, illuminating how we, as humans, experience such transformations

5"x7", acrylic on cradle board.

I was honored to have my work invited back to the Omega Institute for the 2015 season. I will be showing on the first floor in the Ram Dass building mid April through October.
I am going to be very busy these next few weeks finishing up a bunch of new paintings for this show.  I am happy to have the inspiration and deadline!

Happy New Year! xo~Alicia
