For Lynda D’Amico, a painting is never simply an illusion of the real thing.

Though her paintings are representational, they are first and foremost paintings, built from line, tone, and form. Whether the inspiration is a cityscape or the objects of a still life, D’Amico transforms her subjects into a plastic equivalent, giving them a reality of their own, independent of what inspired them.

Shadow becomes solid, part of the geometry of forms organized into a motionless rhythm. D’Amico sometimes uses the Golden Section, a mathematical system of proportion, to bring greater unity to her work, relating each part to the whole.

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, D’Amico received her BFA from UMass Dartmouth and MFA from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. While working as a master printer in New York City, she met Uruguayan artist Julio Alpuy, a member of El Taller Torres-García, who became an important mentor and friend and set her on the path toward becoming a painter.

We invite you to spend some time with D’Amico’s work and look closely at the relationship between each part and the whole.

What can the natural world teach us about connection?

Across sculpture, painting, encaustic, fresco, and jewelry, IMAGO Gallery’s October exhibition explores the patterns and structures that shape our world, from microscopic forms to the architecture of human communities.

Through distinct materials and artistic approaches, the featured artists consider how individual elements come together to create something larger than themselves.
Experience Living Architecture: The Materiality of Community and the accompanying exhibition, on view through November 7.

Thank you to the Bristol Writers’ Group for joining us at IMAGO Gallery this past Saturday for an afternoon of readings and conversation!

Writers Ana Margarita Cabrera, Colleen Cavanaugh, and Beck Farias shared original works exploring themes of community and belonging, followed by a discussion with the audience.

The event marked the continuation of a collaboration between the Bristol Writers’ Group and the Imago Foundation for the Arts, bringing literary and visual arts together in conversation. This year’s theme was inspired by Anne Marie Rossi’s exhibition, Living Architecture: The Materiality of Community, currently on view at IMAGO Gallery.

Special thanks to Bristol Writers’ Group founder August Thompson and co-facilitator Jill Campanella-Dysart, as well as IMAGO’s Vivian Eyre, for helping make this collaboration possible.

And thank you to everyone who joined us for an afternoon celebrating creativity and community!

Why is nature so restorative?

Dot Bergen explores this question through the fractal patterns found throughout the natural world. A fractal is the repetition of an entity at different scales, appearing in birdsong, wildflowers, clusters of shrubs and trees, and countless other parts of the world around us.
Drawing on her background in biology, Bergen combines encaustic and fresco to create paintings replete with fractals, known as craquelure. Her paintings navigate scale, seeming microscopic and cosmic all at once, with references to sunbursts, plate tectonics, ocean currents, cellular diffusion, and everything in between.

For Bergen, these patterns offer more than a visual language. They touch on the idea of self-transcendence: the feeling that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. Her work asks us to consider what it means to be human, and what connects us rather than what separates us.

We invite you to spend some time with Bergen’s paintings and look closely. The patterns may feel familiar, even as they shift between the microscopic and the cosmic.

Artist Talk: On October 24 at 4 PM, Bergen will share her journey from fresco and encaustic to a new mixed-media investigation of edges, lines, and illumination in her artist talk, From Frescos to Fractals: An Encaustic Journey.

Every community has an architecture.

Anne Marie Rossi’s Living Architecture: The Materiality of Community brings together more than 30 sculptural works arranged into five “sculptural communities.” Through wrapping, binding, weaving, casting, and exposing their structures, Rossi explores what holds people and structures together, asking: How can difference become structure rather than division?
Some parts are opaque and protective; others remain transparent enough to reveal what holds them together. Moving between shelter and exposure, individuality and interdependence, Rossi’s materials are not illustrations of these ideas. They physically enact them.

A Rhode Island-based artist working across sculpture, assemblage, drawing, painting, and mixed media, Rossi explores the visceral interplay between the human and natural worlds through layered materials, seeking connections between the material and the ethereal, the seen and unseen.

We invite you to spend some time with Rossi’s sculptural communities and look closely at how their varied parts support, yield, carry weight, and remain visible to one another.

Join us Saturday, November 7 at 3 PM for Inside Living Architecture, a film premiere and artist & filmmaker conversation with Anne Marie Rossi and filmmaker Katie Reeves. The afternoon will include live jazz by Phil Gruppuso and John DeBossu, a screening of Reeves’ new short film documenting Rossi’s process, audience Q&A, a collaborative poem, and more.

New exhibition at IMAGO Gallery: Living Architecture: The Materiality of Community

This October, IMAGO Gallery brings together artists exploring the structures, patterns, and relationships that connect us to one another and to the natural world.
Featured IFA Exhibiting Artist Anne Marie Rossi’s Living Architecture: The Materiality of Community brings together more than 30 sculptural works arranged into five “sculptural communities.” Through wrapping, binding, weaving, casting, and exposing their structures, Rossi considers how difference can become structure rather than division.

Spotlighted IFA Artist Dot Bergen draws on her background in biology to explore fractals through encaustic and fresco. Her paintings move between the microscopic and cosmic, referencing patterns found in nature, from cellular diffusion and ocean currents to sunbursts and plate tectonics.

Guest Artist Lynda D’Amico approaches painting through line, tone, form, proportion, and the relationship between each part and the whole, sometimes drawing on the Golden Section and ideas of harmonic order.

Guest Artist Lincoln Po***ck brings together woodworking, metalworking, and traditional techniques in jewelry that explores geometry, material, repetition, and structure.

The exhibition also features work by additional IFA Exhibiting Artists, creating a conversation across sculpture, painting, encaustic, fresco, and jewelry.
