Stonington Gallery Jewelers

With Valentine's Day around the corner, Stonington's jewelers have created an exquisite body of work in celebration of the month of love.

CURRENTLY AT STONINGTON

MASKS & PANELS

This group exhibit will illustrate the sculptural and dramatic three dimensional aspects of masks, as well as the elegance and grace of two dimensional low relief carvings and paintings. Both are emblematic of Northwest Coast traditions. It will also be a wonderful way to share the importance of the mythological characters and legends of the coast.

SCOTT JENSEN

A Solo Exhibition

The long awaited second Scott Jensen solo exhibition will be sure to astound. Like his previous collection of work, these carvings are without compare. Jensen's style is imbued with a love and respect for the early Tlingit masters who created some of civilization's greatest masterpieces. With every carved ovoid and painted u-form, Jensen pays homage to the elegant and complicated relationship between form and line; the multi-layered tension between positive and negative space; this formline language has adorned art for the Pacific Northwest Coast native tribes for millenia. Scott will give a guided tour of the exhibit Saturday, June 7th at 2 pm.
