John Powell Exhibition

The Christina Gallery, located on the corner of North Water and Winter streets in Edgartown, has announced an exhibition of work by John Powell. Running August 6 to 20, the exhibition will feature original oil paintings by the artist. Additionally, there will be an artist’s reception in the gallery on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m.

Intricate and laced with lyrical realism, Mr. Powell’s works express love for color, flowers and art from around the world. “Each of my paintings, in its own way, is my vision of a garden in paradise. I try to paint with the thought that anyone is invited to come in and enjoy these visions. My experiences with travel and the collecting of various antiques appear in every piece, creating situations based on reality, but mixed with my fantasies,” he explains.
