Portraits from the Streets
September 22nd – October 10th
Opening Reception:
Thursday, September 22nd
6 – 9PM
"I made this sketch – A Beggar, Seville -- in the spring of 2000. Two
months before that I had painted Death of a Skunk when I came upon a skunk
dead by the side of a road. At first I instinctively hurried past it with a
deep breath drawn in and held, eager to put some distance between us. But I
did look at her and for a brief moment allowed myself to see her with the
eyes of one whose life is made worse for her death, a mate who waits
listlessly for her return, unable to comprehend the finality of her absence.
"It would have been natural to feel sadness for the loss of some unknown dog
or a cat dead by the side of a desolate road, because we cannot help but
apportion value to a life based on perceived worth to someone we know or can
readily imagine; some child somewhere, broken-hearted for the loss of a
beloved pet; no one will miss a skunk dead by the side of a road. I went
back and painted her with the intent of creating a work of art that
transcended the value a person might have assigned to her life. I painted
the man in Seville -- an isolated beggar crouched against an immovable wall
as though he accepts with all penitence the judgment of a failed life, for
that same reason. I wanted to strip away all the distractions that prevent
me from seeing a person I might have recognized -- a long-lost brother, my
father, my friend. I wanted to allow myself to see and feel by assigning
value to this stranger based on his worth to someone that knew him well.
"My work explores the value of life, especially the lives of isolated
individuals on the margins of society – often the chronically homeless and
mentally ill, people whose social contribution and impact is negligible by
our accepted definitions of value, people whose mortality is the least of
society’s concerns. With writing and painting that speaks of the universal
parallels of life, I aim to challenge the way we perceive worth and allocate
value – at the same time staying true to the condition of the subjects whose
lives I document in painted portraits and writing.
"The portraits contained in this exhibit are representative of the
individuals I have met in the streets of many cities, but especially the
small section of downtown Los Angeles known as Skid Row. Sherri, the
one-time child-prostitute and convicted killer of a husband who raped her
6-year-old daughter; Patrick, the gentle soul unable to come to terms with
the death of his beloved mother; “Shaky” – they call him that because he
shakes each morning until he has had some alcohol in him; Eduardo, the
recovering drug addict grandfather determined to regain control of his life
and the trust of his family; Stephanie, the young mother and heroin addict
whose hope to someday reunite with her children keeps her from taking her
life.
"My writing and paintings attempt to bring these alienated individuals into
the context of our own lives, despite the often stark differences in the
ways and places we live, and to challenge perceptions of worth and the
criteria by which we allocate value to a person."

_Visiting Artist at the HHAC:
Angela Rose
September 21- October 2
Noon – 5 pm_
_The Hyannis Harbor Arts Center will host visiting artist Angela Rose from
Wednesday, September 21 – Sunday, October 2 from noon – 5 pm. Angela will be
creating her metalworks for the garden and home, as well as portrait
drawings of the people she’s met on the Cape.
First featured at the 2011 Boston Flower Show in March, the use of simple
metal tubing and reclaimed aluminum cable is consistent with Angela’s desire
to utilize existing material and transform it into something new, something
delightful. The sculptures, positioned in a garden landscape or in
containers around flowers and plants, highlight the idea of man as an
integral part of nature, rather than something separate from it.
Interconnectedness between people, cultures, and the Earth is a common theme
in Angela’s work.
_
Angela’s long-held dream to divide her creative time between New England and
Arizona continues to take shape this season at the Hyannis Harbor Arts
Center in Hyannis, located at 250 South Street, as a visiting artist for a
week.
Angela Rose lives in Tucson, Arizona and has been living and creating on the
Cape since May. After a 10-year career in arts promotion and large-scale
public art projects in mosaic tile, she returned to school and earned a BFA
at Smith College in 2002, with a Special Studies in “Sculpture in an Outdoor
Setting.”
A versatile artist, metal has been a primary medium for Angela whether she
is hand-bending metal tubing, twisting reclaimed aluminum cable, or painting
with oils on steel. Angela is represented in the Boston area by Jennifer
Coash (jennifercoash at gmail.com), and in Arizona by Linda Ahearn of Toscana
Studio and Gallery (linda at toscanastudioandgallery.com). To view a sample of
current works from the Cape, visit Angela’s blog: www.AngelaRose.org

The _Anything Goes Coffee House_
A Benefit to Support Cape Poet Joe Gouveia
Sunday October 16, 7:30pm_ _
This is for poets, artists, everyone who knows Joe or would simply like to
support someone in need ... and have some fun in the process.
Joe was recently diagnosed with his second bout of cancer only two months
after his first cancer went into remission. A first-generation
Portuguese-American who has been published in six countries on four
continents, Joe is inextricably woven into the Cape's extensive network of
poets and literary events, working tirelessly to celebrate the art. Funds
raised at the event will help Joe pay his bills while he undergoes
chemotherapy.
_The event will feature music by members of the Beach Plums (a terrific
local band that happens to include two great poets, Greg Hischak and
Kathleen Healy), readings by Cape and mainland poets, food and drink, and a
silent auction/raffle. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the Cultural
Center, 307 Old Main St., South Yarmouth or by calling 508-394-7100. They
may also be purchased at the door. Though refreshments will be provided,
attendees are encouraged to bring their own beverages in order to keep costs
low and proceeds for Joe high._
Joe Gouveia
If you would like to donate an item for the silent auction, please [4]email
the Cultural Center, call 508-394-7100, or just drop it off at the Center.
All proceeds will go to pay Joe's bills while he cannot work.
