Artist Neva Hansen
Showing for the month of August 2022

Neva Hansen considers herself, first and foremost, a Painter. Her influences can be traced back to early childhood and include skills conferred by her parents: her mother was a skilled seamstress, her father a carpenter. Beyond the basic mechanics of her work, some of which suggest complex engineering capabilities, Hansen’s work has been influenced by art through history and profoundly informed by literature, myth, history – ancient and modern - the mysteries of the solar system as well as a finely tuned, beautifully articulated inner voice that all combines to brings life to an amazingly well developed, keen imagination. Any exhibit represents a mere fraction of the work created by this prolific and gifted artist whose work stands the test of time brilliantly and offers to the viewer an exciting and energizing peek into not simply one Artist’s contribution to the development of Modern and Contemporary Art, but into one of the richest, seemingly boundless pools of creative energy conferred to a visual artist in our time. -Gallery Director, Larkin Gallery, Provincetown

Viewing of “The Janes”
Friday, August 12 @ 7:30 pm

The Janes, a film synopsis : In the spring of 1972, police raided an apartment on the South Side of Chicago where seven women who were part of a clandestine network were arrested and charged. Using code names, fronts, and safe houses to protect themselves and their work, the accused had built an underground service for women seeking safe, affordable, illegal abortions. They called themselves “Jane.”

Directed by Oscar-nominee Tia Lessin (HBO’s Trouble the Water) and Emmy-nominee Emma Pildes (HBO’s Jane Fonda in Five Acts), The Janes offers first-hand accounts from the women at the center of the group, many speaking on the record for the first time.
