🟠 #convergence Artist Feature 🟠 As we enter the final days of the @avec_arts x @art_work.s pop-up exhibition, "Convergence” at MITIMCo, we couldn’t think of a better artist to feature than Cyrille Conan (@cyrilleconan). Cyrille’s site-responsive vinyl activates a long stretch of the exhibition space’s exterior windows via the exactness of geometric shapes and the vibrancy of acrylic paints. Cyrille’s merged experiences growing up between Queens, New York and Brittany, France are revealed in his minimal yet organic geometric works. He considers his process to be a response to the intersection of two modern phenomena: the destruction of nature, and the growth of technology. Visit #convergence on its final day, and see Cyrille’s installation, along with other artworks on view: WEDNESDAY 12/22: By appointment (it's totally worth it!) 📌 238 Main Street, Cambridge, MA Image details: 01-02: Installation details of Cyrille Conan’s paint and vinyl “ENEPPOUEZ (counterbalance)” (2022).

🎊 #convergence Artist Feature 🎊 Have you seen the @avec_arts x @art_work.s pop-up exhibition “Convergence” at MITIMCo? If so, you‘ve seen the artwork of Kitauna Parker (@kitauna) floating in front of our glass wall ☁️ Boston-based artist Kitauna Parker is an Artists for Humanity alumna (@afhboston), and current Artist in Residence, who graduated from MassArt. Her multi-layered paintings meld expressive marks and shapes with fragments of language to simulate modes of connectivity and inspiration that bring people together across cultural divides. Centering her practice around the power of the human mark, she views her work as an expression of freedom and resilience.

〰 #convergence Artist Feature 〰 The connections between art and other disciplines are boundless ♾ Discover how linework can bring together reflections on medical practices, imaging technologies, and even the body through the artwork of Sophia Ainslie (@sophiaainslieart). Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and currently residing in Boston, MA, Sophia Ainslie works with a mix of drawing and painting in digital and analog formats and teaches at Northeastern University. Sophia’s generative, site-specific practice begins with medical imagery from which she disentangles flat planes of color. She then layers in flowing, open-ended lines defined by a thick, precise edge that acknowledges architecture and spatial design. When contrasted with the diagnostic imaging technologies from which she draws inspiration, Sophia’s practice reflects on the relationship between the interior and exterior, the microscopic and macroscopic, and body and land. Visit the @artfare link in our bio to learn more about Sophia and her artworks on view (and available for acquisition!) in #convergence 👀 See these in person through our closing date of December 22 ❣️❣️ 📌 238 Main Street, Cambridge, MA Image details: 01: Sophia Ainslie, “0004 untitled”, 2021.

🗝#convergence Artist Feature🗝 We are now in countdown mode with just two weeks left to check out the @avec_arts x @art_work.s pop-up exhibition at #MITIMCo! What do sculptures created from scrap metal look like? Come and find out with the exhibited works of Madeleine Lord (@madeleinelordmadimetal) or visit the @artfare link in our bio. Madeleine Lord is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Dudley, MA. She is part of the Cambridge Art Association and the New England Sculpture Group. Madeleine’s works engage the viewer in the symbolic process of transforming lifeless and forsaken remnants into lively and fully realized beings. By seeking to make heroic art that is simultaneously ironic and joyous, she devises characters, narratives and meaning from her collection of discarded fragments.

Every moment in every life means something.” Visit the @artfare link in our bio to learn more about Gupi and the artworks available for acquisition… give the gift of art❣️ And be sure to stop by and visit #convergence in-person Tues-Fri, 1p-6p 📌 238 Main Street, Cambridge, MA ✨ Image details: 01: Gupi Ranganathan, “protean: marking moments: growth and change” (01-12), 2022.
