The Providence Phoenix recently reviewed the January opening at Dead Cat. Here’s what they had to say:
Dead Cat Gallery (669 Elmwood Avenue, Providence) is showing work by nine University of Rhode Island students or recent grads (through February 8). It’s a mixed bag; the best stuff feels like it’s still under development. Victoria Lockhard Morton presents six black-and-white linocuts in which a spindly-legged girl holds a parasol outside a house with a cactus garden, kids in uniform stand in a field, a man and three women sit around a table, and a couple sits on a couch with a boy and a single present sits on the coffee table before them. Morton is skilled with the medium, and particularly attentive to light. Her scenes look like they’re based on old family snapshots (which apparently is the case with at least some of these), and have an appealing feeling of nostalgia mixed with the oddness of getting intimate glimpses into the lives of strangers. Brendan Sullivan’s acrylic paintings show a talent for using color to create mood. In “North Woods,” a man wanders a mysterious dark forest where the trees have heads. Its heavy on blue and violet, giving it an underwater feel. “Photosynthesis” looks like some Alien spaceship reactor core with crackling electric yellow-green ribs.
The Dead Cat Gallery, which opened in September of 2005, is a non profit art gallery & music venue that supports local art and local music. Our aim is to allow local artist and musicians a space to be seen and heard.
Our gallery has held functions containing paintings, screen printing, sculpture, installations, theater, and comedy, along with live musical performances of all genres. We have also held charity fundraiser art shows that support charities far and near, and have raised several thousand dollars in the process.
The Dead Cat believes that through the expression of art, whether it audio or visual, the culture that is Providence strengthens. The strength of Providence is what you will find at the Dead Cat.
We have gallery openings on the last Friday of every month.
