Sandy Litchfield
Sandy Litchfield uses a range of painterly mediums in her work along with collage and digital imagery. Her process involves gathering and piecing together fragments of collected imagery, which she then assembles into various configurations until they begin to make sense as a compositional whole. Her method of layering imagery, cutting, drawing, tearing, painting, scanning, printing and gluing obscures the distinctions between the mechanical image and the handmade. The fractured and rebuilt landscapes she creates are suggestive of a damaged place with fertile remains. Born in New York, NY, Litchfield currently lives in Amherst, Massachusetts where she is an Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts. Litchfield received her BFA from the University of Colorado in Boulder and her MFA in 2003 from UMass Amherst. In 2007 she attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Her work has been exhibited in numerous museums including the DeCordova Museum, The Portland Art Museum and The Hunterdon Museum. Litchfield is a recipient of the Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship and the Puffin Foundation Artists Grant Award. She’s had solo exhibitions at Carroll and Sons Gallery in Boston, Metaphor Contemporary Art in Brooklyn as well as several New England Colleges. Her work has been selected for review by The Brooklyn Rail, New American Paintings and The Boston Globe.

Three Pyramids + Blue Ball
By Alexander Calder
Located in Palm Desert, CA
"Three Pyramids + Blue Ball" is a gouache on paper by Alexander Calder. The work is signed in the lower right, "Calder 73”.
Although renowned for his innovative and groundbreaking sculptures, Alexander Calder started his artistic career as an abstract painter, preferring to use gouache. What is gouache? Gouache is a water-soluble paint – a type of opaque watercolor.
As Calder returned to gouache painting towards the end of his life, he was now armed with a lifetime of experience as a sculptor. He explored the three-dimensional vocabulary of sculptural forms he had developed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper. Certain shapes and colors recur throughout his gouaches and sculptures. Circles, ovals, and other geometric forms dominate the space. There is the same sense of energy and fluidity. The shapes do not sit on the surface but vibrate giving a feeling of movement in contrast to the static nature of painting.
Like his sculpture, Calder’s gouache...
