"Electricity of Color" brings together Seacoast-based artists Forrest Elliott and Rebecca Klementovich, both accomplished colorists. Forrest and Rebecca's works explore the interplay between vibrant colors and subtle neutrals, which forms the cornerstone of their artistic approach. Their abstract use of color enables them to translate the essence of the contemporary natural world onto a two-dimensional canvas, with the goal of cultivating an intriguing contrast within their landscapes. Subdued neutrals provide a grounding base that enhances the impact of lively bursts of extroverted colors. Forrest and Rebecca's shared vision and individual artistry create a cohesive yet diverse exhibition that celebrates the striking impact of color and its ability to transform our experience of the world around us. Artist Bios  Forrest Elliott Forrest Elliott is a contemporary painter exploring color relationships and how they are translated through the experience of seeing onto a two dimensional surface. He received his B.F.A. from the University of New Hampshire with a minor in History. His work has been featured in Clover + Bee, Design*Sponge, and Studio Visit to name a few publications. Forrest is represented by Blue Door Gallery, in York, Maine, Kennedy Gallery and Nahcotta in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire. His work is held in extensive private collections throughout the United States and abroad, including, Balmain, NSW, Australia & Hong Kong, China. He is currently a full-time artist working out of his studios in York, Maine and Rollinsford, New Hampshire.  Connect with Forrest on Instagram @forrestkelliott. Rebecca Klementovich Rebecca uses nostalgia from natural subjects such as, flowers, mountains, colonial buildings and seascapes – but with a sharp, contemporary edge. Houses that are floating away due to climate change are a new direction she is taking. How to create paintings that exhibit humanity along with high keyed colors and neutrals is a reality she plans on working towards. These two contrasting ideas bring out the energy and complexities of our natural modern world. Rebecca’s work moves in between abstract and semi landscapes because of this, there is a fantastic tension. She is a true champion of using unusual color combos in her work. Her figure paintings and drawings allude to complex relationships and dynamics, sometimes haunting, sometimes intimate always in 17 or 18 century style. Graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology NYC, she specialized in fashion illustration. Rebecca was a fashion art director for 22 years in the city. Her art career gave her a love of color and a strong design component in her paintings.  Rebecca lived in northern New Hampshire near the Mount Washington area for many years. Now she lives near Portsmouth, NH. The mountains gave her the sentimentality and the lyrical style in her landscapes, along with Fauvism. Foliage and Fauvism has been a huge influence on her work. All of these elements have produced large, modern, and unique fine art paintings. The natural subjects, human connection, and vibrant colors, she finds in her paintings take her to an enduring place of beauty, she hopes to share with the viewer.

ganavya Thursday, May 29 Doors 7pm / Show 8pm All ages / Seated Member: $22 - $27 Advance: $25 - $30 Day of show: $30 - $35 -- “No matter the language or the content, ganavya’s voice is a thick ephemera, like smoke as dark as ink, just coming off the fire.” — New York Times Described by Wall Street Journal as “among modern music’s most compelling vocalists,” New York- born, Tamil Nadu-raised singer and transdisciplinarian ganavya has announced details of an ambitious new album, Daughter of a Temple, due November 15, 2024. Released by Nils Frahm’s label, LEITER, on vinyl and via all digital platforms, it follows her appearance at SAULT’s 2023 live debut in London where, The Guardian wrote, her “voice had a delicate emotive heft that could turn stoics into sobbing wrecks”. Her first single for the label, ‘draw something beautiful’, appeared earlier this year in July. Daughter of a Temple was recorded over a week in 2022 at the Moore’s Opera House in Houston, Texas, after ganavyahad reached out to friends and associates over the preceding months to join her for “a gathering in and for devotion”. This was to draw on studies of what she terms the musico- philosophies of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, and she’d even promised herself she’d invite anyone who brought up Turiyasangitananda’s name around her. “You really shouldn’t do that,” she chuckles. “It turns out a lot of people talk about her!”” Consequently, the album – which also brings the Hindu tradition of harikatha into the 21st century – draws upon a vast cast of contributors across multiple disciplines, among them esperanza spalding, Vijay Iyer, Shabaka Hutchings, Immanuel Wilkins, Peter Sellars, Rajna Swaminathan, Charlotte Braithwaite, Chris Sholar, Darian Donovan Thomas, and Bindhumalini Narayanswamy. Her mother even helped cook for participants. The results, an innovative and deeply moving blend of spiritual jazz and South Asian devotional music, were initially recorded and edited by Ryan Renteria, then further edited and mixed by Nils Frahm at LEITER’s Funkhaus studio in 2024.

"Electricity of Color" brings together Seacoast-based artists Forrest Elliott and Rebecca Klementovich, both accomplished colorists. Forrest and Rebecca's works explore the interplay between vibrant colors and subtle neutrals, which forms the cornerstone of their artistic approach. Their abstract use of color enables them to translate the essence of the contemporary natural world onto a two-dimensional canvas, with the goal of cultivating an intriguing contrast within their landscapes. Subdued neutrals provide a grounding base that enhances the impact of lively bursts of extroverted colors. Forrest and Rebecca's shared vision and individual artistry create a cohesive yet diverse exhibition that celebrates the striking impact of color and its ability to transform our experience of the world around us. Artist Bios  Forrest Elliott Forrest Elliott is a contemporary painter exploring color relationships and how they are translated through the experience of seeing onto a two dimensional surface. He received his B.F.A. from the University of New Hampshire with a minor in History. His work has been featured in Clover + Bee, Design*Sponge, and Studio Visit to name a few publications. Forrest is represented by Blue Door Gallery, in York, Maine, Kennedy Gallery and Nahcotta in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire. His work is held in extensive private collections throughout the United States and abroad, including, Balmain, NSW, Australia & Hong Kong, China. He is currently a full-time artist working out of his studios in York, Maine and Rollinsford, New Hampshire.  Connect with Forrest on Instagram @forrestkelliott. Rebecca Klementovich Rebecca uses nostalgia from natural subjects such as, flowers, mountains, colonial buildings and seascapes – but with a sharp, contemporary edge. Houses that are floating away due to climate change are a new direction she is taking. How to create paintings that exhibit humanity along with high keyed colors and neutrals is a reality she plans on working towards. These two contrasting ideas bring out the energy and complexities of our natural modern world. Rebecca’s work moves in between abstract and semi landscapes because of this, there is a fantastic tension. She is a true champion of using unusual color combos in her work. Her figure paintings and drawings allude to complex relationships and dynamics, sometimes haunting, sometimes intimate always in 17 or 18 century style. Graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology NYC, she specialized in fashion illustration. Rebecca was a fashion art director for 22 years in the city. Her art career gave her a love of color and a strong design component in her paintings.  Rebecca lived in northern New Hampshire near the Mount Washington area for many years. Now she lives near Portsmouth, NH. The mountains gave her the sentimentality and the lyrical style in her landscapes, along with Fauvism. Foliage and Fauvism has been a huge influence on her work. All of these elements have produced large, modern, and unique fine art paintings. The natural subjects, human connection, and vibrant colors, she finds in her paintings take her to an enduring place of beauty, she hopes to share with the viewer.

Respighi: Gli uccelli (“The Birds”) Mahler: Symphony No. 1 The Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra concludes its 27th season with two pieces that borrow from and amplify the natural world. Based on music by 17th and 18th century Baroque figures, including composers Pasquini, De Gallot, Rameau and recorder player van Eyck, Respighi’s neo-baroque piece The Birds musically evokes the flutter, bird song and movements of a Dove, Hen, Nightingale and Cuckoo. Similarly, Mahler wanted his Symphony No. 1 to reflect the world and all who live in it. In this exuberant work, he borrows freely from the sounds of nature and, in the third movement, from a familiar melody in order to offer us a musical experience that captures life at full speed, full of joy and bursting with humanity and nature

"Electricity of Color" brings together Seacoast-based artists Forrest Elliott and Rebecca Klementovich, both accomplished colorists. Forrest and Rebecca's works explore the interplay between vibrant colors and subtle neutrals, which forms the cornerstone of their artistic approach. Their abstract use of color enables them to translate the essence of the contemporary natural world onto a two-dimensional canvas, with the goal of cultivating an intriguing contrast within their landscapes. Subdued neutrals provide a grounding base that enhances the impact of lively bursts of extroverted colors. Forrest and Rebecca's shared vision and individual artistry create a cohesive yet diverse exhibition that celebrates the striking impact of color and its ability to transform our experience of the world around us. Artist Bios  Forrest Elliott Forrest Elliott is a contemporary painter exploring color relationships and how they are translated through the experience of seeing onto a two dimensional surface. He received his B.F.A. from the University of New Hampshire with a minor in History. His work has been featured in Clover + Bee, Design*Sponge, and Studio Visit to name a few publications. Forrest is represented by Blue Door Gallery, in York, Maine, Kennedy Gallery and Nahcotta in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire. His work is held in extensive private collections throughout the United States and abroad, including, Balmain, NSW, Australia & Hong Kong, China. He is currently a full-time artist working out of his studios in York, Maine and Rollinsford, New Hampshire.  Connect with Forrest on Instagram @forrestkelliott. Rebecca Klementovich Rebecca uses nostalgia from natural subjects such as, flowers, mountains, colonial buildings and seascapes – but with a sharp, contemporary edge. Houses that are floating away due to climate change are a new direction she is taking. How to create paintings that exhibit humanity along with high keyed colors and neutrals is a reality she plans on working towards. These two contrasting ideas bring out the energy and complexities of our natural modern world. Rebecca’s work moves in between abstract and semi landscapes because of this, there is a fantastic tension. She is a true champion of using unusual color combos in her work. Her figure paintings and drawings allude to complex relationships and dynamics, sometimes haunting, sometimes intimate always in 17 or 18 century style. Graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology NYC, she specialized in fashion illustration. Rebecca was a fashion art director for 22 years in the city. Her art career gave her a love of color and a strong design component in her paintings.  Rebecca lived in northern New Hampshire near the Mount Washington area for many years. Now she lives near Portsmouth, NH. The mountains gave her the sentimentality and the lyrical style in her landscapes, along with Fauvism. Foliage and Fauvism has been a huge influence on her work. All of these elements have produced large, modern, and unique fine art paintings. The natural subjects, human connection, and vibrant colors, she finds in her paintings take her to an enduring place of beauty, she hopes to share with the viewer.
