NKG is pleased to present “Agglomeration”, an exhibition of paintings and drawings by artists Luke Buffenmeyer and Megan McNaught.
Megan McNaught’s  work has been focused on formal issues of image making using strategies similar to game playing as building blocks to tap into her creativity.  Her tightly planned structures using repetitive pattern, mark making, and shapes result in a complexity that creates a dynamic geometry that takes on a life of its own.  Luke Bufenmeyer’s work has entailed intuitively creating objects that make substance of his intellectual ideas and his feelings. His whimsical shapes and invented worlds using varied media address political, social, and historical issues.
In “Agglomeration” MacNaught and Bufenmeyer merge their individuality to create something bigger than themselves as a collaborative experiment to see what combining two different approaches to image making would yield.  The combination creates unexpected results and a sense of the world with an endless source of surprises.  The unpredictability of the work as it is created becomes a fascinating game of transformation both visually and intellectually.

Meghan McNaught, Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts and Fine Arts, Chester College of New England, received her BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and her MFA from University Massachusetts Amherst.
Luke Buffenmyer,  Assistant Professor of Photography, Media Arts and Design at Chester College of New England, received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and his MFA from the School of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University.
