The Pressure of Looking - Studies in Stillness

A summer-long solo exhibition by Ed Majkowski. New plein-air landscape paintings and the field studies that built them.
About this Event

is a summer-long solo exhibition by Ed Majkowski, open to the public on June 12, July 17, and August 14 from 11am to 8:30pm at his Kennebunk studio. Appointments are encouraged but not required.

The show brings together a new body of plein-air landscape paintings alongside the studies and process artifacts that made them. Built from mosaics of smaller field studies sculpted into larger finished works, the paintings are less about depicting a place than about the act of looking slowly — and what that costs in a world that mostly rewards looking fast.

The work is for anyone who has rebuilt themselves from the ground up and recognizes that finding stillness, in this moment, is not simple. It is honest, and quietly hopeful, work.

The studio is located on the second floor. It is accessible via Main St. (blue arrow) and Storer St. (red arrow). Enter the building and go up the stairs to the second floor. Follow the signs.
