Athan’s Café Art Gallery, 1621 Beacon Street (Washington Square), Brookline, MA.| MBTA: Green Line “C” | Handicapped accessible and free wi-fi.
East meets West by way of the European Bakery Café, Athan’s Brookline.
Oil paintings in jellybean hues depict joyful still life scenes of coffee cups, saucers and moka pots reminiscent of Wayne Thiebaud and Andy Warhol.
Heading East, across the gallery, we feast our eyes on paintings of packaged selections from a Chinese market.
In lacquered reds and blacks with neon greens and pinks the scenes whisk us off to Chinatown with all of its visual allure.
This is contemporary work that I hesitate to refer to as “still” life since the paintings possess so much energy.
The objects vibrate with color and personality, seeming to socialize on the canvas.
Reflections dance off the fruity Jell-O and twinkle from the moka pots, all in juicy hyper-color.
This show will perk up a cloudy autumn day and cure wintertime blues.
