It includes work from eight artists working in the Rochester\/Finger Lakes region. The work is consistently great and often surprising in a way that makes you keep coming back to look at many of the paintings. I\u2019m proud of the work of a few of my friends in this one: Tom Insalaco\u2019s consistently mysterious and usually dark portraits and figures in his contemporary baroque style; Jim Mott\u2019s night paintings, brilliant, quickly executed grisaille studies full of feeling for nature and a hint of spirituality; and Chris Baker\u2019s increasingly masterful gouaches from Scotland and many other places. One of his paintings, <em>Skye<\/em>, below, was my favorite in the show, and I\u2019m eager to see his two-person show with Jean Stephens at Oxford Gallery soon. Kurt Moyer\u2019s big representation of a forest floor works as all-over abstract, the way some of Welliver&#8217;s denser forest interiors do, with a sumptuously handled surface. Mike Tarantelli\u2019s small portraits reminded me of early Lucien Freud before he started troweling on the paint like a possessed mason in his signature way, back when he was doing those ultra-sharp faces and figures, whose precision looked almost imaginary. There\u2019s also great work from Belinda Bryce, Lacey McKinney, and Sarah Sutton. Everything is fresh and sometimes startling in its immediacy. I love Main Street Arts. It\u2019s a good friendly space, bright, with big storefront windows and plenty of room for larger work and fresh intelligence in its curating. The show ends Oct. 6.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7732\" style=\"width: 491px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7732\" class=\" wp-image-7732\" src=\"https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2408-1024x292.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"481\" height=\"137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2408-1024x292.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2408-300x86.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2408-768x219.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7732\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Skye, Chris Baker<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have a couple more weeks to see a marvelous invitational show at Main Street Arts.
