    Mary Begley 2020: Paintings and Assemblage
    Artspace Buffalo Gallery
    March 6, 2020 - March 30, 2020
    Opening Reception, March 6, 2020, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

    An art exhibit of Abstract paintings and surrealist assemblage from Mary Begley's current body of work will be on view at Artspace Buffalo Gallery, 1219 Main St, Buffalo, New York 14209 for the month of March. The show opens on First Friday, March 6 with a reception from 6:00 - 9:00pm. The artist will be onsite during gallery hours every Saturday from 1:00 - 4:00pm.

    In this show Begley takes over the Gallery to present a wide variety of work. Begley’s recent abstract series called “Receptor Series” explores naturalistic and bio-morphic forms investigating how we receive information into the body and memory. Some of these works are inspired from human physiology and the inner workings of the body such as the ears, eyes, and nose. Diagrams from textbooks served as starting points for the abstract paintings. Begley says, “I've been experimenting with bringing together memories of place in abstracted imagery and atmospheric fields to create implied storytelling I like to call ‘abstract tableaux’.”

    Debuting in the “Receptor Series” are her new assemblages, which are mixed media sculptures. Found objects mixed with sculptural elements that explore forms of human body that receive sensory information. The pieces are very whimsical and a bit surrealistic. Abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, identity, time, and space are subject matter. This "Receptor Series" started by using discarded satellite TV dishes as substrates for the pieces, they became mandalas and a few of these examples will also be on view.

    Gallery Hours: Saturdays in March 1:00 - 4:00 pm (or call 716-816-8566 or email mary@marybegley.com to make appointment)
