CLICK Art

Our main open office space was designed to not only be functional, but also beautiful and active. We enliven our walls with a rotating collection of artwork by local and national artists. We premiere their exhibitions quarterly during Northampton's Arts Night Out, and on other months we invite performing artists, from musicians to dancers to improv comedy troupes, to share their talents during these popular neighborhood nights.

CLICK GRAND OPENING

After moving into our new space on Market Street, we threw open our doors to the public. We showcased an exhibit of some of our favorite visual artists and were treated to live music from the O-Tones trio.

Please see below for further information about the art on display at our opening, many pieces of which still hang on our walls. For information about purchasing art exhibited at CLICK, please contact our president, Mary Yun.

Christopher Pouler

Christopher Pouler ahas been living and working in Lakeville, CT, for the past 17 years, where he splits his time between his art and designing sets for the broadcast industry. He works in oil paint, pencil, and pastels. These works explore the human condition and how we each strive to find meaning and acceptance of the joys, struggles, and suffering that we and other encounter in this increasingly complex world.

These pieces are currently on display at CLICK

Ellen Grobman

Ellen Grobman is a painter based in Amherst, MA, where she has lived for more than 25 years. She has had a daily studio practice for a decade longer than that, and without it, she says, "nothing else is in balance, nothing else completely works." Her abstract pieces are vividly colored and delicately textured. They communicate, through elegant gestures and veiled messages, a visceral emotional undercurrent, and a desire to connect. Her work has been shown extensively in Massachusetts, New York, and other places on the eastern seaboard.

Arthur simms

Rich with associations to his hybrid autobiography, American and Jamaican folk culture, music, art history, and world culture, Arthur Simms' human-scale sculptures radiate a playful and serious inquiry into concepts of origin and transformation. His art is to a large extend a product of bi-culturalism, a merging of his Jamaican heritage and American education. Through their formal rigor and the poetic associations that the recycled elements trigger, the sculptures narrate stories of personal identity, family, spiritual and physical journeys, erotic tensions, and nostalgia for home.

Simms' sculptures are usually wrapped in rope and/or wire. The laborious action of binding creates spiritual and physical links that construct his cultural history. Incorporating a wide range of materials and mediums, his work explores themes of life's experiences. Over the past two decades, he has been working on a body of sculptures and drawings that evokes memory, loss, and cross-cultural ties.

Lucy Fradkin

With sources ranging from the ancient frescoes and mosaics of Etruria, Rome, and Byzantium to Indian and Persian miniatures, from vernacular, hand-painted signage to folk art, Lucy Fradkin's paintings capture timeless moments through a contemporary lens.

Since 1998, she has focused on creating portraits of a broad range of individuals, painted in oil or gouache on paper and board. Consciously rooting her works in the rich tradition or genre painting. She places figures, often women, in domestic settings. Her figures are reticent and static, endowing her scenes with a mysterious and solemn aura. Though her work is clearly inspired by traditional art forms, she maintains its relevance through the quiet presentation of issues of gender and race, informed by personal history.

Fradkin uses color and pattern in her paintings to evoke emotion to tell stories of daily life and to draw the viewer into an intimate world. In many of her works, she incorporates collaged decorative elements, sourced from old catalogs, field guides, and vintage books. By meticulously cutting and pasting significant motifs and images, she develops intricate designs, rendering her surfaces more distinctive and her works as a whole more visually complex.

Marlene rye

The scenes Marlene Rye depicts do not exist in the physical world. Each piece is an invention born out of the process, but like a newborn child, is always a surprise. Through pouring and wiping, the application of brayer, palette knife, and sander, and sometimes the sroke of an actual brush, each piece emerges from the white canvas. What coalesces there is an image where time and season, scale and share, become indefinite and fluid. The works are always full of wonderment of nature through a child's eye. As in dreams or memories, everything is brighter, more fanciful, surprising, and magical.

Rye has an AB from Smith College and an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. Her work has been shown nationally and has been accepted into juried shows with distinguished curators from the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Guggenheim. She has been in 17 solo shows since 1994.

In 1998 Greene moved to Masachusetts and earned an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2004, where he was awarded a three-year teaching associateship. He lives and works in Florence, MA, with middle grade and children's writer Molly B. Burnham and their two children.

His work is in private collections in the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and France, as well as the corporate collection of Neiman Marcus and the University Museum of Contemporary Art in Amherst.
