Unbound Visual Arts, based in Allston-Brighton, and the Harvard Allston Education Portal, are very pleased and excited to announce the opening of the new contemporary fine art exhibition featuring a local artist: Amy Kelly: Transitions.

The Amy Kelly exhibition, curated by John Quatrale, is an exhibition of mostly oil paintings that attempt to “capture the moment between life and the transition” to it’s next stage. Through her figurative drawings and abstract recreations, Amy incorporates materials that portray the elegance of the decomposition process sometimes related to death and decay. She is attempting “to create an existential snapshot of the lesser traveled paths of the human psyche.” In the end she is seeking to get as close to non-existence as possible in order to “celebrate the beauty of the imperfect.” Through her flowing color and black and white artwork, Amy creates an imminent sense of explosive evolutionary energy in many forms. The artwork with a mixture of both partial and clear representational forms create a powerful juxtapositional effect of life and death that she strives for. This is her first one-person exhibition.

A public reception for the exhibition with the artists is Saturday December 7 from 3:00-4:30 pm. The exhibition runs from December 4, 2013 through February 21, 2014 (extended to March 6th) and are open Monday – Thursday from 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm as well occasional Fridays and weekends. The Ed. Portal is closed from Dec. 20 through Jan. 1. The Harvard Allston Education Portal is located at 175 North Harvard St., Allston, MA 02134 (Barry’s Corner). MBTA Buses: 66, 70, 70A, 86. It is a five minute walk from the Harvard Business School and just down the street from Harvard Stadium.
