CURRENT SHOW:

Jared Radding

February 7 through Feb 29.
Open late
during Biddeford's ArtWalk from 5-8pm.

Jared Radding, MECA grad, is showing new works on paper in February. Jared's paintings are an investigation of thickness, grounds and transparency, A minimal style that questions painting itself.

"Our task is not to find the maximum amount of content in a work of art, much less to squeeze more content out of the work than is already there. Our task is to cut back content so that we can see the thing at all." -- Susan Sontag
