Construction/Paintings & Mixed-Media Collages

“We’re not here to do what has already been done,” says Gerald Huth, quoting the late Robert Henri of New York’s Ashcan School art movement of the early 20th century.  Mr. Huth will be showing recent works in a solo exhibition at Belmont’s 1870 Art Center Gallery, from June 22nd through August 6th.   Further explaining his approach to art,  Huth says, “My work isn’t about abstract ideas” nor do I “want my art to look like a pretty landscape” —  it’s more visceral.  “I’m not a decorator.”

Strong words.  But, then, this artist does strong work.  Merging painting with sculpture his fluid, energetic images are not constrained by rectangular canvases but instead dramatically rise and fall from the surface of large-scale canvases of many geometric and amorphous shapes—often breaking or extending beyond the frame.  The artist’s “Construction/Paintings” are both wall-mounted and free-standing and combine canvas, oil paint, wood, burlap, rope and other natural materials.
