Exhibition Press Release For its summer art exhibition i n Brookline\, Athan's Bakery & Café\;\, one of the most popular caf& eacute\;'s in Greater Boston\, is presenting a &ldquo\;cool&rdquo\; hot su mmer exhibition: &ldquo\;Lisa Goren: Polar Summers&rdquo\; from July 18 th rough September 7. The opening reception is Wednesday\, July 25 from 7-9 pm and an Artist Talk Back at 7:30 pm. Athan's has been exhibiting some o f the best regional art at both of its locations for the past year. The solo exhibition features the artist's strong interest and attraction to th e beauty and mystery of the polar mountains of Antarctic and the Arctic. T hrough her vivid paintings Lisa Goren captures for all of us the critical ice caps associated with global warming and inspires us to learn what acti ons may be necessary in our lives to avoid irreplaceable damage to our pla net. Many scientists have recently discovered this &ldquo\;inconvenient t ruth&rdquo\; and reported that the melting of the polar ice caps have alre ady resulted in many severe weather episodes across America in 2012. Lisa visited the Antarctic in 1997 and was inspired by its many sculptural ice landscapes that were representational and abstract at the same time. S he also discovered that the native plants\, volcanic rock\, blue ice\, pen guins and seals created a varied and colorful panorama. Seeing the icy l andscapes made her rethink how we perceive water and ice that have so many beautiful ever-changing manifestations. She found that in Antarctica\, dirt and snow algae could create amazing effects in what might be assumed to be a totally white landscape\, with icebergs that are so dense that the only light waves\, which pass through\, are what she calls a 'Caribbean' blue. It was her attraction to water and its variations that encouraged h er foray into the use of watercolors. When she's creating she feels close r to understanding her ice subjects by using water as one of her tools. Dr awing and painting ice reminds her of the transitory nature of water\, whi ch includes ice that is millions of years old. After the birth of my so n\, she became a 'stay-at-home mom' and she began to think about painting the ice again. She created a series of pieces entitled\, 'The Antarctica Project'. She has been painting for 6 years and she has exhibited in Mas sachusetts\, including the New Art Center in Newton\, and in New Hampshire . Individuals in Seattle\, San Francisco\, Boston\, New York\, Australia\ , and Iceland have collected her artworks. Recently\, Lisa has been selec ted to be a member of the 2013 Arctic Circle Voyage Project.\n\nStart time : 8:00 am - 10:00 pm DTSTART:20120726T000000 DTEND:20120907T000000 LOCATION: SUMMARY:'Lisa Goren: Polar Summers' Art Exhibition TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
