Carly Glovinski, investigates patterns, objects and organizing systems found in everyday life. Employing contemporary trompe l’oeil techniques, and taking the form of drawings, painted objects, and installations, her work aims to bend perceptions of things we recognize and experience as common and everyday, creating a deeper awareness of the experience of “seeing“, and allowing for unexpected connections to be made between concept, materials, and the iconography of objects. She was the 2016 recipient of the Piscataqua Region Artist Advancement Grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, and recently did residencies at the Studios at MASS MoCA and Hewnoaks. She received her BFA in painting from Boston University in 2003 and has exhibited nationally and internationally- notably at the deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Rockland, Boston Center for the Arts, Portland Museum of Art, Portland, ME, the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, Pulse Art Fair, Miami, and Charlie Smith, London. Recent solo exhibitions include “LAND-LINE” at 3S ArtSpace, Portsmouth, NH, LaMontagne Gallery, Boston, MA, “Fool’s Gold” at Buoy, Kittery, ME and “Decoy” at June Fitzpatrick Gallery, Portland, ME. She has lectured and been a visting artist widely in the Northeast at institutions including, Bowdoin College, Mount Holyoke College, and New Hampshire Art Institute. Glovinski grew up in Berwick, Maine, and lives in Dover, New Hampshire.

“By dissecting, duplicating and mimicking the objects, underlying patterns and organizing systems that are so woven into the backdrop of our lives, I seek to expose a universal fabric that binds us all. I think that we can find wonder in the everyday, if only we just slightly shift our view, keep our eyes open, and are willing to see the connection between things. I want to make work born from this place, and have it inspire in others a desire to interact with the tangible/ physical world. To roam, to touch, and to have reverence for the history that is contained in places, and also the grandeur of nature and this planet we inhabit.“ –Carly Glovinski
