SHAWN FARRELL

Shawn Farrell is a master craftsman and member of the New England Sculptors Association. He earned his BFA in glassblowing and bronze foundry and a Master's Degree in Art Education. Early in his career, while working for other accomplished artists, he honed his craft and style making large-scale public art installations and museum pieces. Today, he creates large-scale outdoor works out of his home studio in Hamilton, MA that incorporate the many skills he's developed over the years. Farrell draws inspiration from forms in nature, everyday objects, the interaction of shapes, and many other sources. With his work, he hopes to engage the viewer in a conversation about the world around them. Farrell seeks to make that conversation in an accessible public space to bring art to people so they can interact with it in a more intimate way than work in a museum or gallery. His work can be seen in various shows throughout New England during the year as well as in galleries, parks, museums, and private collections.

JOSE CRIOLLO

Growing up in Ecuador, Jose Criollo was always in touch with nature. He now likes to represent these vivid memories through his work. His art is focused on representing nature in its different manifestations by using recycled metal, a material that usually ends up in places that affect nature. This goal is to show that unused material can be transformed into art. Moreover, Criollo attempts to raise awareness on the dangers that threaten the planet and thus promote its conservation. His goal is beyond conventional recycling but also on creating objects that surpass the 

value and use of the original product. His work is in many private and public collections throughout New England.

JAMES KITCHEN

Rescuing time-worn pieces of metal, once tools or ancient machinery, but now found discarded, is James Kitchen’s passion. “Animating cold lifeless scraps and instilling a personality or creating an emotional response when viewed by others s a magical process that I am unable to articulate.”

In addition to being an artist, Kitchen s a musical with his band, James Kitchen & the Appliances. He his also a writer and poet, a voracious reader, daily walker, and ruminator. – a true Renaissance man who loves libraries. In fact, you can currently see another of his works, Saturn, on the lawn of the Topsfield Public Library. Kitchen has won numerous awards in arts shows and from luminaries including Governor Deval Patrick and Senator Elizabeth Warren.

GINTS GRINBERGS

Gints Grinbergs says that his creative process has two distinct halves – collecting and design. “As a lifelong packrat, I have always enjoyed the collecting process, be it exploring barn sales and junk shops throughout New England or sneaking into scrap yards around Boston.” Lately, Grinbergs has been buying industrial discards from fabrication shops and trying to find an alternative life for these laser cut castoffs. Maybe this comes from his training as an architect.

“My relationship with my design process is complex. It can be instantaneous – I’ll see the ;perfect parts for a sculpture scattered at my feet – or it can get laborious.” Either way, Grinbergs attempts to transform and upcycle manmade materials into the infinitely more complex forms designed by nature. His work is exhibited widely throughout New England and in many private and public collections.
