Gilles Giuntini

“Personal Realities & Corrupted Myths” is an exhibition of sculpture by Gilles Giuntini.  Giuntini creates complex intimate narratives that reference both historical and personal events.  These carefully crafted pieces are at once seductive yet beyond reach, bringing the viewer in but at the same time keeping them out.  The resulting physical tension of each piece creates a world of paradox and hypocrisy.  Giuntini has had numerous Solo and Group Exhibitions over a forty year career as an artist and has exhibited his work both in the United States and in Europe. He has been an Artist-in-Residence at The Museo Santa Barbara in Italy as well as being the recipient of Artists’ Fellowships from both the National Endowment for the Arts and The Connecticut Commission on the Arts. Articles, reviews and references on his work have appeared in Art in America, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Art in New England and other publications.

Linda Lindroth

Linda Lindroth, a photographer, will be the featured artist in a show titled “Easy History”.  Her photographs examine containers that held the countless products once manufactured in the United States, during a time when industry was at its peak in this country. According to Lindroth, her photographs feature containers “in various states of decay and disintegration, stripped of their identity by flattening them and folding their sides”. Enlarging the image then reveals the imperfections and faded color. Lindroth’s work is represented in numerous collections in the United States and Europe including: The Museum of Modern Art, NYC; The Metropolitan Museum of Art;  Musée d'art et d'histoire, Fribourg, Switzerland and Yale University.  She has exhibited widely and is currently an adjunct Professor at Quinnipiac University where she teaches courses in Visual Culture.

Jennifer Knaus

“Paintings by Jennifer Knaus” features the work of Knaus, a painter who is inspired by Northern Rennaissance portraits and Dutch 17th century still lifes.   Her imagery comes from a desire to combine two unrelated genres from art history – portraiture and still life – into her unique paintings.  Elements from nature are arranged onto the heads of the artist, her family and friends.  According to the artist, “the constructing of arrangements is a metaphor for the projected self; a story of who we think the world sees us as.”  Issues involving nature and the environment also influence the artist’s work.  Jennifer is an adjunct teacher at Central Connecticut State University. She has shown her work at the New Britain Museum of American Art and currently exhibits at Littlejohn Contemporary in New York City.
