What happens when Fire, Water, Earth and Air combine? Surprising Matter explores what manifests when different creatives push a variety of materials. Ricardo Arango uses a striking mixture of elements in his sculptures including glass, ceramics, marble and steel, often exploring the combinations in one piece. His work highlights the beauty of each material as he places them in unique arrangements. John Green works with materials and textures with a freedom that allows him to continually explore new directions developed from a trip taken, a structure that speaks volumes, an image’s impression, or a recurring idea. These are translated through encaustic, a technique as much as a medium, imbued with mystery and permanence that compliments the ever-changing patinas of the other more transitional elements in his work: steel, wood, lead and copper. The result? Well, that’s the surprise. Opens in the North Gallery of Windham Fine Arts, September 23rd, 2017.

Windham Fine Arts is a contemporary gallery located in the heart of historic downtown Windham, New York, just 2 hours north of New York City. We opened our doors in 2001 after a 3 year restoration of the original 1855 structure. Steeped in local elegance and charm, with over 3000 square feet of curated space, the gallery is enjoyed by artists and patrons alike. Representing many diverse and distinguished artists, both local and internationally acclaimed, we present solo and group exhibitions, while hosting cultural and art events year round.
