Lucy Clark

    ‘Masked World’ at Berta Walker

    By

    “They Arrived in a Masked World” is the show that artists Mike Carroll, Lucy Clark, Deb Mell, and Laura Shabott were meant to have last year before the pandemic brought everything to a halt. It is now opening at Berta Walker Gallery, 208 Bradford St. in Provincetown, on Saturday, July 3rd from 3 to 5 p.m., and running through July 17th.

    Carroll continues his painted jigsaw-like compositions of colorful interlocking shapes that are part control, part release. Lucy Clark’s undulating forms take landscape into the mystic, while Deb Mell’s work is as full as Clark’s is spare, with birds, snakes, and strange figures engaged in a kind of a mythical Mardi Gras. Shabott continues her vigorous study of the figure as it pertains to Hans Hofmann’s push-pull legacy.

    There’s still time to see the current show at Berta Walker Gallery in Provincetown, featuring the work of Deb Mell, Joseph Diggs, and Lucy Clark. It’s on view through July 11. The show is part of “A Season of First Landings,” celebrating Provincetown 400.

    Clark, who is based in Washington, D.C., and Truro, is one of the newer artists at Walker’s gallery. “Her current paintings reveal the motions and emotions of land and sea that the artist has represented through the rhythms of line and color,” the announcement for the exhibit says.

    Berta Walker Gallery, at 208 Bradford St. in Provincetown, is open by appointment only, noon to 4 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. To make an appointment, call 941-350-7135 or go to calendly.com/bertawalker.
