NEXT @ NO. 5 BUTCHIE ALLEY

No. 5 Butchie Alley returns this Spring, featuring works by Shelley Thorstensen, in cooperation with Dolan/Maxwell.

I have been in love with Thorstensen’s work since we met as colleagues at Moore College of Art and Design in the 90’s. She has been a constant source of inspiration over the years as I observed her transform and build print shops around the world and also witness the ever expanding oasis of her home studio and garden. She is a treasure and brilliant teacher who seems to have made some kind of back alley deal to know every arcane and esoteric bit of Printmaker magic. Thorstensen is a master printer and colorist. She possesses one of those rare, interstitial visual vocabularies that is akin to breath. As lines accumulate, layered portals open and close, revealing glimpses into an intimate universe that is contained and unraveling at the same time. Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, May 10th. Thorstensen will talk about the work beginning at 5:30 p.m. followed by a reception through 9 p.m. Shelley will offer a gel-printing workshop on Saturday, June 21st from 12-4 p.m. Lunch will be provided. More info about the workshop coming soon! Check our shop for upcoming details. There will be a closing reception for the exhibition on Saturday, June 28th from 6-9 p.m.

Shelley Thorstensen lives and works in Pennsylvania. As her printmaking is a duet between intangible and tactile, her artwork is a physical representation of consciousness: a duality of body and mind, physical and mental, heart and soul. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Royal Museum of Art, Antwerp, Belgium; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; the Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia, PA. She is an ongoing NEA Research Artist at Kansas State University in Electrolytic Chemical Etching and recently exhibited in Portraits of the Brain: Visualizing Behavior: Lehigh University Art Galleries, Bethlehem PA. Her work can be seen through Dolan/Maxwell in Philadelphia, PA and at shelleythorstensen.com. 

She writes about her work: “My work is a result of the confluence of inner and outer stimuli. It’s a result of personal narrative as much as observed affect. It derives as much from experience as it does from answered and unanswered questioning. I think about the connection between the manmade and what we call natural, the extension and overlap of each modality. Sometimes in my work, things are sure footed, sometimes less so. The forms evolve, they turn and I rely on a sense for which I cannot find a proper name to hesitate the turning, to coalesce a given form. Because I work in the medium of the hand pulled print, color and form can be separate investigations into meaning, effect, response. I am very comfortable with that fluid hierarchy: where form and color are unlinked and either can assume a dominant role, which is not determined until I call the print done.” 

Many thanks to Dolan/Maxwell Gallery for cooperating with the exhibition.

Internationally known in the field of modern and contemporary visual art, Dolan/Maxwell is located in a former carriage house in Center City Philadelphia just west of Rittenhouse Square. We welcome interested individuals, experienced collectors and art professionals by appointment.

Dolan/Maxwell specializes in fine prints and works on paper by artists from the 1930s to the present. Their works are presented seriously and in depth with emphasis on Modernist works from the WPA era, Europe and Atelier 17, the New York School, art by African Americans as well as International Contemporary artists. We work closely with the artists and the estates of artists we represent. We augment these works with carefully chosen sculptures and paintings on canvas or panel by artists whose work complements our core and are of particular interest to us. As a founding member of the International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) we have notable expertise in works on paper in all media.

No. 5 Butchie Alley is an outgrowth of Terri Saulin's home studio. Saulin is celebrating the fourth year of programming. She hopes to continue growing and creating a welcoming space that invites generous conversations, a place to exchange ideas and to build community in the city of Philadelphia. Exhibitions rotate approximately every two months. During the run of each exhibition, the exhibiting artists or Saulin herself offer workshops relating to their studio practice or relating to something currently happening in the community. 

Regular hours are Saturday and Sunday, 12 p.m. - 4 p.m. and by appointment.

The gallery is located on an easement directly behind 1175 S 13th Street. Enter Butchie Alley from Federal Street, just before 13th. Look for the Isaiah Zagar mosaic mural.

I Don’t Know Where I Am Going but I Know How To Get There…

Feb 4 – April 17, 2024

IMAGE GALLERY & PRESS RELEASE HERE

MARY GAMBLE BARRETT

Mary Gamble Barrett

T R A N S C E N D E N C E

Opening Reception: September 9, 2023, 6-9 p.m.

Closing Reception: Saturday, November 4th, 6-9 p.m.

CFEVA’S POST TOURS: October 14th & 15th, 12-6 p.m.

Workshop: Saturday, October 7th

Mary Gamble Barrett’s paintings and ceramic tiles reach beyond the physical, parting the heavy curtains leading to the metaphysical world. Inspiration for the works comes from sacred geometry (found in mentor Bill Daley’s sculpture and in Byzantine Iconography) and in the magic of color and clay. The creation of these works was both meditative and cathartic for Barrett after the passing of her husband and best friend, Dominick Barrett, in 2021. 

During preparation for this exhibition, she rediscovered her love of dualities: order/chaos, inside/outside, physical/metaphysical(spiritual) combining the chaotic swirls of color wash with the structure of symbolic geometry. Barrett returned to her graduate thesis studies and again to the work of sculptor Bill Daley. In a paper she wrote about his work in 2003, she recalled a sculpture that Daley had made for his grandson. Daley gave her a copy of the drawing during her visit with him in 2003.

“The cross in the square and the diamond that is created by connecting the vertical and horizontal axis repeat into what Daley calls “The infinity form”. This form is evident in many cultures and religions, including Byzantine Iconography, in which the diamond represents the dynamic form of heaven, and the square the static form of earth.”

- The Vessel as Place (The architectural work of William Daley) Mary Barrett Dec. 2003

Barrett is asking mystical and never-ending questions. Math is a meditative map to explore interior spaces of the heart and mind. Barrett’s visual explorations reflect the obvious symbolism of the circle, signifying eternity, with no beginning or end. On a deeper level, Barrett’s practice is a constant circling of returning, reordering and expanding on knowledge gained along the way as a perpetual student and teacher. 

No. 5 Butchie Alley is thrilled to open the Fall season with Mary Gamble Barrett’s paintings and ceramic tiles. The works are pregnant with the palpable hours of intense searching and illumination. Each object reflects every season of emotion and the work it takes to get to the other side of hopefulness.

Mary Gamble Barrett’s creative journey includes studying the Arts at Florida State University, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Moore College of Art and Design, and The University of the Arts, and 21+ years of teaching High School Art. Her mediums include clay, oil, acrylic and watercolor painting, egg tempera icons, and mixed media. Barrett also attended The Prosopon School of Iconology & Iconography, where she studied under Vladislav Andrejev for ten summers, resulting in an exhibition at the National Gallery.

“To me, Light coming through a window, or porcelain, or in an icon, signifies consciousness.”

SAVE THE DATE!

Mary Gamble Barrett will offer an egg tempra media intensive, exploring 14th Century Byzantine techniques at No. 5 Butchie Alley on Saturday, October 7th. More details to come.

ALEXIS HUGO NUTINI

Alexis Nutini is a master printer and colorist living and working in the city of Philadelphia. His studio is a wonderland, a cosmic jewel tucked away in the 1241 Carpenter Street Studios. Whenever I visit the studio, I feel drunk, drunk on color. It is everything missing in my daily to-do’s. I sit amongst these harmonic crystal healing conduits, and let them recharge me. The studio and work hum with absolute love, deep knowledge of process and the joy of experimentation. Alexis’s improvisational compositions are an otherworldly rhythmic float. Each chroma and hue has a voice, they screech, call and return, surprise rimshot and then return to the familiar. In the midst of all of this, your eyes may stray to a child’s monster marker drawing peeking over the corner of a rug, spilling onto the wall that leads to a ladder to the crow’s nest that is his son’s tiny studio.

“La Joyita” - “Little Jewel,” perfectly describes the collection of prints Alexis Nutini is preparing specifically for No. 5 Butchie Alley. "La Joyita” perfectly describes the sweetness Nutini and his family have carved out in Philly… which is a gem.

Born in Mexico City, Alexis Nutini received an MFA in Printmaking from the Tyler School of Art in 2005, a BA in Fine Art from St. Mary’s College of Maryland in 2000 and completed a Fulbright Fellowship in Barcelona, Spain in 2001. Alexis teaches as an Adjunct Professor at the Tyler School of Art and runs Dos Tres Press, a printshop in south Philadelphia where he maintains a print publishing business and develops collaborative print-based projects. He focuses on rigorous experimentation with relief printmaking techniques through hand-carved, reduction woodblock printing and the digital technology of platemaking with Computer Numerical Control (CNC) routing.

Keith Crowley: Natura Morta

Crowley presents an honest and intimate group of flora and fauna, rendered directly in watercolor. Acquired and arranged serendipitously, they are an intense experience to behold, conjuring emotions from our collective memory and preoccupation with our delicate existence.

Keith Crowley received his M.F.A. and B.F.A. in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah, GA. He studied Art Education at Mansfield University, Mansfield, PA. Crowley is currently Senior Preparator at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.

Keith Crowley will be running two days of workshops at No. 5 Butchie Alley on Saturday, April 15th & Sunday, April 16th. Choose one or both! Each workshop runs 12-3 p.m. and includes all materials, lite fare and refreshments.

AMY SARNER WILLIAMS: BEYOND THE HORIZON

Beyond the Horizon explores Amy’s personal journey after the passing of her husband David Williams in 2018. Faced with the reality of life without her dearest friend, she confronted, with deep uncertainty, how life would unfold beyond the boundaries of what she had known, of what had filled her with strength and optimism. She now needed to gain a new understanding of herself.

She turned to art and nature, two sources of joy and solace that had permeated her adult life. She saw Dave everywhere she looked, in the cities, the mountains, the waters, the sky. She traveled to the Mediterranean coast of France for a ceramic residency, where she combined landscape with portraiture through photo-transferred imagery. Upon return, as the pandemic curtailed her ability to work in her communal studio, she found solitude and comfort at her family’s rustic cabin in the mountains of western Maine.

It was there, in this place of sanctuary, that she began a new artistic exploration, creating collages with the fallen bark of the ubiquitous birch tree. Birch bark, with its myriad peelable layers, unveils a hidden array of colors, textures, and patterns. This new medium allowed her to create collages of mystical and enchanting beauty, capturing the spirit of the ever-changing landscape, and renewing in her a sense of wonder and connection to the world, that she feared might have been lost forever.

Recently, she expanded the scope of this work to include more abstract compositions. These new works play with depth and space, darkness and light, color and texture. They are environments to explore, passageways to enter, mazes to lose oneself in. They are a metaphor for the inexorable flow of life and death, beyond the familiar and into the unknown and unknowable.

MARY HENDERSON

No. 5 Butchie Alley presents a series of small paintings by Mary Henderson. Henderson created the works specifically for the space, a first-time consideration for the artist. The series of twenty, mostly 4 x 4-inch paintings are meant to be deeply considered by the viewer. Gloves on the table invite guests to hold and examine each work closely. The act of touch and direct participation is an unexpected reading of a painting. The painting becomes a highly personal and intimate object.

The subjects of these paintings are all strangers to me; some of them are strangers to each other. Each image is derived from a photo I have taken – at a protest, rally, amusement park, sporting event or similarly public space – and focuses on a spontaneous moment of intimate rapport or synchronicity. The paintings are about the connections we form with each other from afar, and what we are missing when those connections are disrupted.

Scaled to the size of a hand, they are meant to be held for viewing. - Mary Henderson

The exhibition runs March 5 through May 7, 2022.

Please join us for the opening reception, Saturday March 5th, 6-9pm.

Closing Reception is Saturday, May 7th from 6-9pm.

MARGUERITA HAGAN & TERRI SAULIN

PHILADELPHIA -

For immediate release

No. 5 Butchie Alley welcomes Marguerita Hagan and the gallery’s owner Terri Saulin for a special Winter Holiday exhibition and pit-firing workshop. Please join us for the Opening Reception, Saturday, November 20th from 6-9pm.

Friendship is a gift.

Hagan and Saulin began their friendship virtually, in love with each other’s work and in love with clay. When they finally met in person, Saulin got to assist Hagan at one of her pit-firings. They became dearest friends.

Hagan presents a selection of her rich collection of drawings & works in clay from earthy Rongorongos, La Mer gems to her tableware. Each piece of tableware has lovingly drawn images in both the Primary Producer and Petroglyph series. Hagan’s pit-fired Rongorongos give form, painted by fumes and flame to the ancient and mystical Easter Island language. The delicate La Mer series shines light on the ocean and celebrates its extraordinary aesthetics and sustaining life force with which our lives are intrinsically linked. Each series is given as a gift to sustain our environment and future.

Saulin presents a selection of cups and ornate vase forms. Saulin’s work examines the idea of the gifts we leave behind that conjure memory. Saulin’s elaborately covered vase forms are a meditation on the thousands of loops her mother made while crocheting piles of blankets. What thoughts may have passed under the weight of each accumulated stitch. Some vessels are adorned with sprigs made from her mother’s and other’s costume jewelry. Jewelry, destined for a thrift shop sale that documented a history of gift giving and memories of cherished occasions, are given new life on ceramic wares.

The exhibition’s title is a nod to the book by Lewis Hyde that discusses the premise that works of art exist simultaneously in two economies. Works of Art are “gifts,” even though they are bought and sold as commodities, they possess an inexplicable quality that ignites delight or invokes a soulful memory, some inexplicable thing is gained that has nothing to do with the price paid. They move the heart. Objects have the ability to create interconnected relationships as they move through hands and gain power through use and care and memories shared.

Marguerita Hagan is a ceramic sculptor based in Philadelphia. She is an advocate for the thriving of all life in mutually sustainable communities and environments. The concept of interdependence plays throughout her sculpture, teaching and community arts.

Throughout her career, Hagan has brought to light the beauty and engineering of our planet’s diverse ecosystems and our powerful role as stewards. Hagan’s practice is an ongoing discovery, magnifying our awareness, reciprocal responsibility and protection of each other and our planet. She received her MFA from Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and her BFA in Ceramics at James Madison University. Her projects include collaborations with artists, scientists and community, environmental art-science residencies, lectures and exhibits nationally and internationally.

Terri Saulin received her MFA from the University of the Arts and her BFA from Moore College of Art and Design. She is a member and press coordinator for Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Philadelphia and a Member/Supporter of The Clay Studio, Philadelphia. She currently teaches a variety of Studio Arts courses at The Agnes Irwin School, in Rosemont, PA. Terri is the owner of No. 5 Butchie Alley. No. 5 Butchie Alley is an outgrowth of Terri’s studio. The space is secretly tucked away on a small easement in South Philly that opens into a garden of inspiration.

In January of 2022, No. 5 Butchie Alley welcomed Marguerita Hagan and the gallery’s owner Terri Saulin for a special Winter Holiday exhibition and pit-firing workshop. These are the marvelous results from the pit-firing. Thanks to all who joined us for these magical workshop days. It was a gorgeous day and amazing one year celebration @no_5_butchie_alley ! Thanks @marguerita for this wonderful pit-firing workshop!

Workshops at No. 5 Butchie Alley are truly heartwarming! Cheers to all new friends.

NANCY AGATI

No. 5 Butchie Alley presents a selection of Nancy Agati’s works titled Francesca and Tessere. Inspiration for the work draws from traditional tombolo lace patterns of Southern Italy, and the geometric tile design from the Alhambra in Southern Spain. The works are alchemical in the way that Agati transforms material, turning raw earth into subtle color, weaving and overlapping, intricate patterns, imbuing the works with a hypnotic sense of time, turning modest materials into objects of reverence. Her meditative process is both focused and detailed, offering a way to consider order amidst chaos, and beauty at a time of apparent darkness.

Agati's work addresses forms and patterns in nature through physical investigations of materials. She is interested in elements from nature that communicate the passage of time and illustrate cyclical occurrences. Influences include natural forms that reveal a sense of order, elegance, and geometry often found in patterns of moving water and flow-like organic structures. Drawing is an essential aspect of Agati's work, defined in the broadest of terms and developed through multiple methods. Her multi-disciplinary work includes works on paper, sculpture, textiles, site-specific installation, and public art.   

Nancy Agati holds a BFA from Alfred University, School of Art & Design, NY, and an MFA from The University of the Arts, Philadelphia. She has exhibited her work widely throughout Philadelphia and nationally including exhibitions at the Philadelphia Art Alliance, Hillyer Art Space, Washington, DC, Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Staten Island, NY, The Calandra Italian American Institute, New York, Crane Arts Building, Philadelphia, and Pentimenti Gallery, Philadelphia. Agati was a recipient of a Windows of Opportunity Grant from the Leeway Foundation and has been awarded artist-in-residence placements at the Santa Fe Art Institute, New Mexico, Lo Studio dei Nipoti, Calabria, Italy, and Main & Station in Nova Scotia. In 2014, as a Hemera Foundation Tending Space Fellow.

Participants will be introduced to the geometric tile formula that formed the patterns and initiated the process for Nancy Agati’s Tessere Series of rubbings on interwoven cut paper.

Each member of the group will learn and draw the traditional Moorish tile design.

Students will then have the opportunity to alter and individualize their template drawings through additive and subtractive methods. 

After having coated the tile with layers of slip, each student will choose their favorite pattern, to be transferred onto their individual raw clay tile. The tile will then be carved with the *Sgraffito technique to reveal the details of the pattern.

Completed and fired tiles will be ready for pick up or delivery one week following the class.

Gourmet lunch, morning snacks and beverages included!

*Sgraffito (in Italian "to scratch") is a decorating pottery technique produced by applying layers of color or colors (underglazes or colored slips) to leather hard pottery and then scratching off parts of the layer(s) to create contrasting images, patterns and texture and reveal the clay color underneath.

KATHY HALTON

 Kathy Halton: Garnered

June 4 - July 31, 2021

Opening Reception: Friday, June 4th 2021, 5-9PM

Closing Reception: Saturday, July 31st, 2021, 3-6PM

To garner = to gather, or collect, or to acquire by effort (archaic)

Lines, shapes, colors, nature, stories, and memories, are garnered and used to create these works. They are generally layered and complex in form, using a combination of drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage, to render a finished piece. In terms of process, [I set up a snare to trap myself, then fight my way out, going deep, beyond first impressions, garnering my reactions to what’s happening, and then wrestling myself to the finish.]*

The painting “Infinite” is made with acrylic paint and a collection of woodblock images; both collaged and printed directly onto the surface. A blockprint tells a story at a point in time and then can be used again to harken back or bring forth a new story at a different time in history. The prominent image in this piece is of the garter stitch, which tells of the bandages knitted by my mother for patients in a lazaretto.

And with time, joy, and effort, the garnering continues!

*BIngram, 2021

No. 5 Butchie Alley is thrilled to present our first exhibition, open to the public. We will be welcoming visitors to the Opening Reception of “Kathy Halton: Garnered” in groups of ten, in twenty minute intervals. Masks are required if not vaccinated. Walk-ins are welcome, but may be asked to wait depending on safe numbers. Regular visiting hours are Saturdays and Sundays 12pm -4pm beginning June 13th, 2021 or happily by appointment.

BLOCK PRINTING WITH KATHY HALTON - JULY 17th, 9am-1pm

Participants will be introduced to the wonderful art of block printing. Design ideas and possibilities will be discussed and inspired by different artists’ works and by the demonstrated process itself. From initial design ideas, to creating the blocks, and printing in one or two colors, the printmaker’s magical process will be realized. Regardless of experience in the art-making process, all participants will leave with a print and, I’m sure, a desire to make more!

Supply list to be brought by participants

A couple of regular pencils

A couple of small to medium oil-painting brushes, if you have them

Images of things you find inspiring

Photographs of nature

Your sketchbook, or other works that you’d like to work from
