Brenda Bettinson’s solo show “The Earth Remembers” will be on view through September 11, 2016.
Brenda Bettinson’s most recent work at Mathias Fine Art in Trevett, ME is about the battlefields of WWI.
This body of 21 paintings represents a new series, which was begun and completed in the 2nd half of 2015. These works are characterized by layers: layers of color, layers of meaning, layers of compositions within compositions, and layers of memory and distance.
Some of the paintings are grouped within one frame reminiscent of polyptych works. Others are individually framed.
Bettinson’s sophisticated approach to her theme lets the viewer discover much and imagine more in the layered surfaces of her masterly compositions. For additional information see the article in The Wiscasset Newspaper

A reading of poems related to the show is scheduled for August 17, 2016 at 2pm. The hour-long program will be presented by Dr. Ellen Louise Hart.
