ROCKLAND — Seven Artists Collective is currently showing ‘Roots & Wings’ at Triangle Gallery, in Rockland, through November 30, 2024. Fall hours are noon - 5pm Tuesday through Saturday; 1 - 4pm on Sunday (October), by chance, or by appointment.

Join Triangle on Friday, Nov, 1, from 5 to 7p.m., for First Friday Artwalk.

SEVEN is a collective of Maine abstract artists; Jenny Campbell, Michel Droge, Alicia Ines Ethridge, Celeste June Henriquez, Doreen Nardone, Brenda Overstrom, and Don Peterson.

According to the group, their aim is to “bring collective intention to our individual practices; this draws our work forward. In 2015 we met during a continuing studies abstract painting class at Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine taught by abstract painter and printmaker Michel Droge.

"After two semesters of painting together, we decided to continue our shared commitment to developing our individual painting practices by starting a monthly critique group involving rotating studio visits. We meet regularly at our studios to consider the physical reality of making. The conceptual components of our work develop and merge with the intuitive experience of working with our materials. The hand of the artist is clear and present. We place emphasis on the act of artistic creation.”

Triangle Gallery is located at 8 Elm Street in Rockland, Maine. For more information, call 593-8300 or go to www.trianglegallery8elm.com or instagram @trianglegallery8elm.
