McGowan Fine Art announces the opening of “Contemporary,” featuring the work of Lotus Lien, Lynda Litchfield and Fred Lynch. The show will run from Sept. 7 to Oct. 8 with an artists’ reception on Sept. 10 from 5 to 7 p.m.

“Minimalist work is not always as popular as it should be,” says gallery director Sarah Chaffee. “I think people believe that there isn’t enough to look at or be engaged with. This show, featuring three different interpretations of a minimalist aesthetic, is quite engaging, but requires a little work from the viewer. What initially seems quite simple or monochromatic is actually filled with subtle details and color shifts. I thought by bringing three different artists together to address minimalism that it would allow people to compare and contrast.”

This exhibit will be on display at McGowan Fine Art, 10 Hills Ave. Hours are Tuesday to Friday, 10 to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or by appointment. For more information, call 225-2515 or visit mcgowanfineart.com.
