Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

'Connected to Vermont'

The artists showing at Hardwick’s Green + Blue Gallery — yes, it has relocated from Stowe — through March 31 don’t just have ties to the Green Mountain State; they have ties to each other. A hulking found-industrial-object sculpture is courtesy of blacksmith James Teuscher, who owns East Hardwick’s Whitewater Gallery, where he’s shown the fantastical steel work of Glover artist Torin Porter. Paintings on view come from George Pearlman, the executive director of Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, and New Yorker Glenn Goldberg, a regular VSC visiting artist. In a review of a previous show of Goldberg’s work — colorful pointillist bird-and-flower paintings and blown-glass sculptures — the New York Times wrote “the effect is disciplined and pixilated, like a spring picnic with a shaman.” Pictured: “Nautilus” by Torin Porter.
