"Structures" by Axel Stohlberg

January 07 - February 15, 2020

​

Axel Stohlberg, kick starts the 2020 exhibition year at Axel’s Gallery & Frame Shop with a solo show highlighting the familiar shape of a house. The house shape has long been a theme of his.

“For years I’ve been doing the house shape, the building shape. It has become almost a signature of mine.” - Axel Stohlberg

Because Stohlberg uses many different mediums including paint, wood, metal, paper, and glass, he is not to be bound as a singular type of artist. The freedom enjoyed from the exploration of materials is grounded by the familiar house form that everyone can identify with - no matter where they are in the world.

“I enjoy the silhouette of buildings — for example, at the end of day, and you’re driving down the road and see the silhouette of a barn or house; there’s no detail. That’s really enjoyable to me that you identify it just from the shape.” - Axel Stohlberg

Looking Ahead

Faces of Vermont by Orah Moore

February 18 - March 28, 2020

Vermont seems to attract characters of character. In one form or another, for years, Orah Moore has been drawn to people living their lives with little artifice.  As a photographer, she looks for opportunities to photograph people…as if she walked into their space and they just keep living, or working, or talking or considering. 

​

Vermonters do a lot of “considering,” and are pretty dedicated to knowing themselves from the inside out. And they often do not conform to a set of rules, but rather work out their own rules and live  close to those ideals. Orah Moore feels thankful that so many have let her in.

This journey continues.
