ART: Let’s Keep It Real by Barbara Morse

Jaffrey, NH – The Jaffrey Civic Center will be reopened their doors in 2025 beginning with an exhibit titled “Let’s Keep It Real” by Barbara Morse. Morse’s work will excite and create wonder with her small but specific bursts of color amid the gray of graphite; to keep you interested and give you direction through the exhibit. The exhibition will be on display from Friday, February 28 through Friday, March 28 in the Cunningham Gallery.

Barbara Morse says that “by isolating a portion of a scene, an object, or a person; developing a mood, and avoiding elements of realism; I create my image in Sharp Focus. Light and texture are to be as much the subject as the objects themselves, while a fragmented view should provoke thoughts of the whole. The ordinary should become the unexpected when viewed from an unusual setting or perspective. Stimulating the viewer’s thought process to extend beyond the natural order of things should suggest a range of emotions from humor to hope, thus allowing the work to transform to the level of fine art.”
