Two new exhibits are opening now through mid-March at Lyndon House Arts Center: Carol John’s “Twist” and Johntimothy Pizzuto and Patti Roberts-Pizzuto’s “Distillations.” John, an Athens-based artist who studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and has exhibited works in museums across the country, presents a series of paintings that focus on repeating marks and shapes that move across their canvases with vibrancy. The pieces reflect John’s dedicated daily studio routine, which has resulted in hundreds of paintings that she is constantly reworking and using to explore pattern, color and composition. “Distillations” combines the constructions of Johntimothy, which consist of scraps of frame molding, intaglio prints, small boards and found objects, with the delicate and wandering drawings of Patti. The life partners’ work explores memory and temporality, contrasting atmospheric marks with manufactured edges. The two are originally from South Dakota and have enjoyed numerous exhibitions and publications of their work before moving to Athens in their recent retirement.
