lacombe

Gaston Lacombe (Canadian/American) is a photographer, painter and graphic artist based in Provincetown, Massachusetts.  He is known for the explosive colors of his works, often created in mixed media techniques.  His art combines realist photography with abstract constructs inspired by organic shapes and designs found in nature.  One of his recurring themes has been the examination of the queer experience, whether by representing male-on-male desire, words of power, or the subversion of religious iconography.

ALDEN GALLERY

Alden Gallery was founded in 2007 by Stephen Syta and Howard Karren to support the work of their respective husbands, Joerg Dressler and Ed Christie, as well as other gallery artists. We love being in Provincetown, because it’s a great artist colony — thriving for more than 120 years — and a longtime queer haven and mecca. Several of our artists identify as LGBTQ: Ed Christie and Joerg Dressler, of course, plus Jim Broussard, Paul Kelly, Sean McCabe, Robert Morgan, and Mike Wright. We’re excited to see Art Gaysel arrive here from Miami and hope they have a great

JOshua wilmoth

You can't shoot a load in pown without hitting one of Josh's murals. 
Keep your eyes open and make sure to tag him in your
instagram pics!
What is your identity? Is it a concrete definition, privy to stillness? Or is it a moment, a breath, an idea that lives in constant reaction to all swirls around and within you? Is there ever truly a moment where you are not defined by the fluidity of the world around us?
These simple questions frame the wide and varied scope of work in Joshua’s portfolio. Through a diversity of media, it’s an exploration of the spaces between motion and stillness, often with a deeply sensual and emotional narrative.  Primarily dealing with water-based aesthetics and the human form, Joshua’s work layers the visible surface with the undercurrent of constant and dynamic change.  
Joshua is classically-trained, with degrees from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts as well as a graduate of the Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts.  Born and raised in South Florida, Joshua currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts. 
LOCATION ART & MURALSLeaning towards larger scale work, it’s been natural progression to cut out the canvas and paint right on the walls. Mural work has been a liberating development in my artistic pursuits, allowing me to think outside the constraints of rectangles and frames and creating a way to experience my work .

Joerg dressler

Joerg was born in Hanau, Germany. He received his MFA from the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach, Germany, in 1994. Additionally, he studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France. Joerg moved to the United States in 1996.
Joerg Dressler’s work is driven by nature and how we perceive it. He is presenting his experiences of reality filtered through his perception. As a result, disjointed experiences of the seen and unseen are reassembled, creating in the work a reality of its own. Joerg’s evocative, sensual paintings derive from a sincere dialogue between the representational and the abstract, the conceptual and the purely spontaneous. While remaining uniquely his own visual communication, the vocabulary for his work is drawn from a cross-section of art history: Romanticism, Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, graphic design and photography. “Joerg evokes sublime depictions of our confrontation with nature, especially the contrary effects of nature on the human psyche,” writes Christopher Busa in Provincetown Arts. “He places tranquility side by side with violence, light clashing with the dark, fragility beside boldness—surprising forces seemingly summoned on a whim, with involuntary energy.” Recurring themes in Joerg’s work include the passage of time, impermanence, frailty, and perception. He is a recipient of the Romanos Rizk Scholarship, and was awarded the Mass Cultural Council 2020 Artist Fellowships Program: Finalist in Painting. Joerg’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum and the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in New York.
Joerg is represented by Alden Gallery, Provincetown, MA and Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA.
"With my work, as I translate the experience of viewing nature into oil paintings on canvas, I also strive to reconcile the opposing elements and forces of nature that impact my personal world, and the world around me." - Joerg Dressler

All kidding aside, Melissa dominated at Art Gaysel Miami 2021 and we can't wait to see her solo show at On Center Gallery this Summer!

She then went on to receive her MFA in painting from Southern Illinois University in 2006. Her work has been featured in wide reaching publications throughout the country including three editions of New American Paintings. She has shown in various galleries nationally and internationally including South Korea and India and has won numerous awards throughout her career. She has won several fellowships and grants including the Arkansas Arts Council Fellowship in Painting in 2012 and a Middle East Travel Grant in 2016 to perform research throughout Israel. She was named a "Woman to Watch" in 2016 by the Arkansas Arts Council touring her work for 18 months throughout the region. She has attended artist residencies in Boise,ID and Arthouse, Holland. Her work is amongst private collections throughout the country and abroad and she is represented currently at OnCenter Gallery in Provincetown, MA.

She holds a studio in Warwick, NY and lives with her wife and two dogs. ​
STATEMENT: 
I appropriate from existing images sourced from disco, private Tumblr accounts, the Hollywood golden era and late 70’s/early 80’s “tomboys” that have informed my identity and personal sense of self. I further queer these images by a creating a type of reassembled painting, one that combines masculine and feminine. I look to reorganize images to play with gender and challenge the tropes of heterosexuality. I paint these images in order to create a coveted object, one that holds hours of considerate and loving application through a painterly meditation. I seek to explore micro-expressions, gender play, and the exploration of my coming of age as a queer person. Influenced heavily by glitch art and data moshing, I create meticulous watercolor and ink wash paintings in order to investigate the line that is straddled by abstraction and representation. I work in water media on paper to create a vulnerable object and a tender presence through my touch.

MICHAEL PRODANOUArtist’s Statement
I always loved to draw.
During my architectural school years and practice, I dealt with proportion, volume, and space, as well as technical issues relating to building construction.
When I started drawing figures, the technical issues became less important and I dealt with composition, movement, and emotion, issues not usually related to architecture. I also decided I wasn’t just drawing the figure in front of me, but more importantly, I was drawing what the figure was doing. I was less interested in academic skill, but more in showing the dynamics of the pose and responding to it on a personal level. I love expressing that energy with different levels of marks and tools, charcoal and water, cloth and sponge. Add paint and colour, and that is the ignition that elevates the drawing to a different level of interest and emotion. I want my paintings to show passion, figures with other figures, strengths and weaknesses, all part of the human condition.

Paul Rizzo

Paul Rizzo is a painter and sketchbook filler who lives and works in Provincetown Massachusetts. He works with and from 70s gay porn, portraiture, abstraction, houses, and text. His work is also about a nostalgia both for a time he lives in and a time he has not technically lived through. He is obsessed with the past, specifically old Hollywood and the 1970s. A process painter, he loves getting lost in documenting and/or the making of art.

Chick Byrne

Chick is a graduate of Denison University class of 2009. There he received a BFA in studio art and has since maintained a successful and growing studio practice. His work has been seen in several art journals and Interior Design Magazine. In 2015 he was invited to participate in a group show at Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art. His work is in private collections around the world.
He works intuitively; easily moving from one medium to another allowing his instinct to guide his choice in color and inform the qualities of his line. His belief in the infinite complexities of the mind and body connection inspires the imagery which is an amalgamation of art theories. The work is figurative in its foundation with an expressionistic approach to application and a surreal vision of the self. The figures see themselves from the point of view that is at once infinitly small and large; the mind and soul exist within and around the body. The viewer is invited, by the bright colors and playful composition, to experience their own concrete experience through his abstract lens.
Chick is represented by Shann Treadwell at Treadwell Gallery, Provincetown, MA.
