Party wherever you can
“A Dance in the Mouth of a Whale’’ (oil on linen), by Alexander Nolan, in his show “Airplane Mode,’’ at Cove Street Arts, Portland, Maine, through Oct 18. Mr. Nolan lives in the far Downeast Maine town of Lubec.
The gallery explains:
“Nolan presents a body of work inspired by ‘something funny that pops in my head, a dream, a domestic experience, or it might come from a narrative inspired by a book or movie,’ according to the artist. ‘In my paintings, I explore our human basic needs and need nots in life such as food, sex, love, joy, violence, vice, agony, greed, spirituality, and death.’’’
