FARMINGTON — The Emery Community Arts Center at the University of Maine at Farmington is presenting its latest exhibit “ASPECTS: 4 ARTISTS” now through Aug. 14. There will be an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 14.

The exhibit features the work of four prolific local artists: Lori Soucie, David Crowley, Sue Bisaillon and Roger Bisaillon. It is free and open to the public.

Soucie finds inspiration in the colors, textures, forms and beauty of nature. Her new body of work is devoted to a single subject matter, flowers. She has also found inspiration in the work of many photographers and artists including Georgia O’Keeffe.

Soucie’s photographs have been exhibited in galleries and businesses throughout Maine. Her work has been accepted into the Maine Photography Show for five years and she has exhibited twice in the Maine Art Scene virtual exhibit. She has studied photography with John Paul Caponigro, Jay Stock, LeeAnn LaFleur and Barbara Tobey. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Maine at Farmington.

Crowley has been making art for over 40 years and is the recipient of many awards and prizes. His work is included in many private, corporate and museum collections.

“My work is about emotion, the profound sense of a mandate so demanding and compulsive that the need to make something must be satisfied. Even if the lack of time, funds, and the market do not support the idea, the need for the project to be realized is so compelling as to force itself into fruition,” said Crowley.

In 2004, he was given a retrospective of his work at the Cape Ann Art Museum in Gloucester, Mass. Among his many exhibitions, Crowley has exhibited at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, the Walker Art Museum at Bowdoin College, the Springfield Art Museum in Springfield, Mass., the Marietta Art Museum in Ohio, the Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockport and Husson University.

The Bisaillons’ process of making art is reflective of their life spent working daily in their rural Maine studio. Color and textural surface are paramount in their product. Their ultimate partnership has been the impetus for their high energy, unique product. They are partners, where designing and fabrication is his forte, and the two glaze together. Over the years they have traveled extensively and have established a strong clientele. Hand-building in terra cotta earthenware clay, he utilizes all building techniques (coil, pinch, slab, extrusion, throwing, pinching, stamping) to fabricate low-fire sculpture and pottery. It is thick, deeply carved, nonsymmetrical and textural, inviting the viewer to touch and participate with the piece.

“The process of creating art has been an integral part of daily existence for my entire life. With a compulsion to constantly create, clay has been a natural avenue to release my aesthetic energy,” said Roger Bisaillon.

The Emery Community Arts Center is open daily from noon to 6 p.m. throughout the summer.
