Art For The City: Celebrating Brockton
Curated by Rolly Blanchette, this celebration of artwork uplifts the people and artists of Brockton MA. This work is a collection of old and new works, a mixture of representational and abstract, and diverse voices of various ages are heard in this show. Large futuristic works by Robert Priest weigh heavily on the far side of the wall, Versha Barber’s bright and bold abstract paintings are seen in the window next to Julianne McLaughlin’s relaxing seascapes. Ally Boyle displays her pop art-inspired works in the window, along with Sophia Rosselli’s handwoven tapestry weaving. This show displays many different mediums, styles, and sizes from different periods of time; all celebrating the city of Brockton.

Versha Barber, Ken Beck, William Beyer, Ally Boyle, Cara Cantwell, Aaron Clanton, Emilie Errié, Sarah Feragen, Helga Hošková, Scott Ketcham, Michael Mazur, Julianne McLaughlin, Elizabeth Olson, Annalina Paiva, Richard Pepp, Robert Priest, Sophia Rosselli, Karin Sanborn, Zahirah Nur Truth, Hanne Koerner, AC Danielson
Amongst the older work is a lithograph by artist Helga Hošková. Miss Hošková was the only one in her family to escape Auschwitz during Hitler’s dictatorship, by lying to the nazis by saying she was 18 when she was 14 meaning that she was able to work and this would spare her life. The drawing portrayed the life she was living at the concentration camp, and the lithograph was created from the drawing years later.
Visit Enso Gallery West until September 21st, Weekdays from 4pm-6pm to see this outstanding show of work celebrating the city of Brockton.
