                                                       "Lamentations" to benefit the people of Ukraine

Picture

Easthampton, MA –October 04,2022  / Artist Joanne Holtje announces today that her series of new oil paintings, “Lamentations”, will be shown at the Oxbow Gallery from October 27-November 27, 2022. This series, begun early in 2022,  served as a way for her to bear witness to the horror of the invasion of Ukraine.  
Joanne Holtje created “Lamentations” from photos captured by the photojournalists covering the war and from her imagination fed by those images. The paintings straddle both abstraction and representation to convey the destruction and desperation. Ms. Holtje stated, “The wrenching images from Ukraine inspired this work, and I have enormous admiration for the people who are willing to put themselves in danger to bring the truth to light. My desire is to refocus attention on the plight of the Ukrainian people and to raise funds to help relief efforts.”
The proceeds of sales from the show, plus an additional 20% match from an anonymous donor will be donated to the 501(c) nonprofit charity Razom for Ukraine (razomforukraine.org).

The public is invited to the opening reception on Friday, November 4 from 5-8 p.m. at Oxbow Gallery, located on 40 Cottage Street, Easthampton, MA 01027. The artist will also host a Silent Meditation on Peace  on Saturday, November 12, 2022, 11-11:45 a.m. in the gallery.

The Oxbow Gallery hours are: Thursday-Sunday noon-5p.m., Fridays until 7 p.m.

Since 2006 Joanne has exhibited in a wide range of venues including the Fitchburg Art Museum, the Danforth Museum, the D’Amour Museum of Fine Art, Fountain Street Gallery, Boston,Concord Art, Concord, and the Painting Center Gallery, New York. Her work appears in the book, Creating Abstract Art by Dean Nimmer. She has been an active member of Oxbow Gallery since 2014.
