Exhibition Opening – Claude Carone: Paintings – A solo exhibition in the Main Galleries.  –  “My paintings use a vast vocabulary of space to articulate a border area linking consciousness and the unconscious dream state.  Through the use of color, each of which has its own specific weight, I organize space to establish relationships between the various elements in the paintings. While considering planes, I create a sense of depth and volume with multiple perspectives. Through juxtaposing depth and surface, the viewer is drawn into unfamiliar forms of perceptive consciousness.  Like music, my paintings show both major movements and the elaborations that enrich them. And just as silence serves to shape musical mass and duration, the implied regions beyond each painting serve to form the space within.” –  The Carriage House is closed for the winter season. – On view through December 4 – Information at johndavisgallery.com or 828-5907 – 6 to 8 pm – John Davis Gallery, 362 ½ Warren Street
