艺术画廊 at the University of New England’s Jack S. Ketchum Library in Biddeford is pleased to present “Images of Neuroscience, Images of Transcendence: Work from UNE’s Histology and Imaging Core and Paintings by Honour Mack,5月5日开幕.

的 exhibit will feature images of biological samples produced by scientists on UNE’s Biddeford Campus in conversation with the work of contemporary Maine painter Honour Mack.

“的 energy of Mack’s paintings — colorful, 几何, 精神上的, biomorphic — form a wonderful pairing with the striking images used for scientific inquiry, allowing a visual conversation to emerge from two different but sympathetic sources,希拉里·艾恩斯评论道, director of Galleries and Exhibitions at UNE.

的 exhibit is coordinated in collaboration with UNE’s Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences.

“My paintings offer no concrete destination but seek to suspend a viewer in the present moment,麦克说。, offering a unique counterpoint to the precision that science can provide. “This objective is supported by my interest in the intersection of references to anatomy, 人造建筑, early esoteric philosophies, ancient scientific examinations of the world.”

“Images of Neuroscience, Images of Transcendence” runs through Sept. 29. An opening reception for the exhibit will be held Friday, May 5, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the library, located at 11 Hills Beach Road, Biddeford. 图书馆早上9点开放.m. 到5点.m. 每天.
