Buckminster Fuller and Klementovich

Aryaloka Presents “Glow of Light” — An Inspiring Art Exhibition

Aryaloka is proud to present “Glow of Light,” a new modern landscape exhibition by Rebecca Klementovich. This series explores the transformative effect of sunlight on the landscapes around us, capturing the radiant glow that emerges when light meets form. Through this, objects come alive with vivid, expressive color—revealing unexpected hues that transcend realism and move into emotional and visual expression.

A key influence behind this body of work is the spirit of the Fauvist movement, led by Henri Matisse in early 20th-century France. Like the Fauves, Klementovich embraces bold, non-naturalistic color to convey feeling and atmosphere rather than literal representation.

The exhibition takes place at Aryaloka, a beautiful Buddhist center and retreat nestled in the wooded landscapes of Newmarket, on land historically stewarded by the Abenaki and Pennacook peoples. The grounds feature peaceful trails in a unique retreat center 

This collection is displayed within the remarkable architectural setting inspired by Buckminster Fuller, whose pioneering work popularized the geodesic dome. Known for their strength, efficiency, and visionary design, Fuller’s structures—such as the iconic U.S. Pavilion at the 1967 Montreal World’s Fair—embody innovation and harmony with the environment. If you’ve never been in a Buckminister Fuller house, this is a unique opportunity to do so.

“ I’m so thrilled to be exhibiting within such a space is, for an artist, it is a dream realized. The combination of art, architecture, and spiritual setting creates a  beautiful dialogue between light, structure, and perception,” Rebecca says.

As Fuller once expressed, these spaces offer “a sense of orientation of each human individual within the profound magnificence of the Universe… a cathedral of universal reality and a cathedral of universal mystery.”

Klementovich’s work stands in conversation with these legendary influences, bringing a contemporary voice to a timeless exploration of light, color, and form.

Nostalgia of Warm Ski Days

What it is to ski during a warm day is priceless. The air is crisp and invigorating, carrying the scent of pine and the faintest hint of wood smoke from a cozy cabin nestled somewhere below. The only sounds are the crunch of skis on snow, the whoosh of the wind, and the occasional joyous shout of a skier carving a perfect turn.

This nostalgic painting of snow falling as you are skiing is a reminder of how special skiing is in New England. The bits of Gold leaf represents the sunshine on the pines.

Katherine Bradford's Influences on Rebecca Klementovich

Katherine Bradford is a widely recognized contemporary painter known for her exploration of themes like community, vulnerability, and motherhood through figures, especially swimmers and superheroes, in luminous color fields

 Rebecca Klementovich's body of work tends to focus on her use of color and ability to capture the essence of nature, and her nostalgic mountains and families skiing paintings were influenced by Bradford's work. Klementovich's Fashion Illustration degree from FIT in NYC and her years as a Fashion textile designer and Illustrator flows through her paintings.

An art historical comparison can be drawn, based on their shared affinity for vibrant, luminous color and a certain "nonacademic, creative freedom" in figuration. Both artists employ color  to evoke mood and atmosphere, often building up surfaces with a rich, tactile quality. Bradford is noted for her "radiant liquid fields" of color that imbue her figures with a sense of the transcendent, using variations in saturation to suggest vast spaces like the sea or sky. Klementovich is similarly praised for her "masterful use of color" and expressive, "vibrant" art. This shared commitment to color as a primary expressive tool, combined with a brave, unpolished approach to figuration, creates a compelling stylistic parallel between their respective practices, even if their narrative themes may differ in focus.

I Love Painting Triptychs

My new favorite paintings are these expansive triptychs.

A painting or artwork divided into three panels is called a triptych.Triptychs originated in the Middle Ages, often used in religious art (altarpieces) to tell stories or depict scenes.

Modern triptychs can feature a single image split across three canvases or three separate, yet related, images. This type of painting gives a larger feel to one particular painting with the same subject matter

Corporate Art for All of Us

Corporate modern art refers to the acquisition, commissioning, and display of modern and contemporary artworks by businesses and organizations in their workspaces and public areas. It goes beyond mere decoration, serving various strategic purposes for the company. what is great about Corporate art is that everyday people get to enjoy art when they walk into the lobby. Possibly people who are too busy to go to a museum.

Reflecting Corporate Identity and Values: The choice of artwork can communicate a company's culture, values (e.g., innovation, tradition, creativity), and brand personality.

Supporting the Arts and Local Communities: Investing in art, especially works by emerging or local artists, can demonstrate a company's commitment to the cultural landscape. What a wondeful way to support your local artists!
