"Andrew Nixon: I Am Here and You Are Not: Paintings, Drawings, and Prints, 1994-2011"
I look at Andrew Nixon’s “The Lake” and see truth all over the place. A family, some friends, a variety of generations, some passive, some active, all frolicking or minding over the frolic of others. It’s a pastoral setting from yesteryear: a tree provides shade, the water offers calm, the fashions are a bit stodgy. There’s a soft focus to the canvas, and it’s enchanting. It’s part of a new exhibit, “I Am Here And You Are Not,” at the Newport Art Museum, 76 Bellevue Avenue. The painter, who teaches art at the UMass Dartmouth, says the show is about “the way in which we routinely exchange the ineffable experience of real places (the immediacy of earth, air, and light) with their representation in pictures, maps, and new media. Although place is obviously external, our sense of it is deep in the fabric of being, inseparable from imagination and memory.” The show runs through March 11 | 401.848.8200 | newportart museum.org
