1100 County St., Somerset, MA 02726
Somerset, MA – Kevin Goff, Joel Mejias, and Jocelyn Vache are pleased to present the River’s Edge Pop-Up Art Show featuring their artwork. The show contains original paintings (oil, acrylic, and pigment in soy), fiber art, art prints, and sterling silver jewelry. Goff and Mejias will be taking bookings for tattoos this month and Vache will be available for custom jewelry inquiries. The show is one day only on Saturday from noon to 10PM. You can watch the artists live-painting, enjoy some light refreshments, and then perhaps head next door to The Mallard for drinks or a meal.
The three artists are well traveled with local roots. They have lived and/or worked in Somerset, Dighton, Swansea, Fall River, Providence, Tiverton, East Greenwich, Easton, Seekonk (as well as Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Arlington, Florida, Paris, London, and Puerto Rico). They have a combined professional art experience of almost 100 years. River’s Edge celebrates community and lifting people up. Their artwork explores the human condition and their practice is rooted in selfless support of each other and fellow artists. In a world increasingly divided, their wish for this event is to bring people together and facilitate connections. The show is free and open to the public.
Kevin Goff’s first location was Autumn Skye Art Gallery and Custom Tattoo in West Palm Beach, FL. He currently owns and operates Ivy and Oak Tattoo Artists Studio in Lake Park, FL. This pop up art show is part of his scouting the area to open a new studio local to Somerset. He is a working artist who paints primarily in oils focusing on human emotion, attracted to the way light attaches itself to objects and people. He has shown extensively at Hatch Gallery and Howley’s Restaurant in Lake Worth, FL, and currently has pieces hanging in The Brewhouse Art Gallery (Lake Park, FL) and at Ivy and Oak. Goff’s reach of collectors spans up and down the East Coast and out to California.
Joel Mejias is a life-long full time artist who works in oil and is beginning to explore acrylics. Mejias has been tattooing for as long as he has been painting. He heads Bambú Tattoo, which had locations in downtown Providence and Seekonk, and continues to do guest spots locally. His tattoo work influenced that of Goff’s early on in addition to fostering the careers of more than a dozen artists still thriving locally. At the show, you will see his technical and automotive-inspired artwork. His paintings focus on the mechanics of life in a blueprint style, representing symbols of freedom. Mejias is a three-time “Best Overall” award winner at the Boston Tattoo Convention. He currently has a solo show at the Greater Fall River Arts Association in Fall River.
Jocelyn Vache works in pigment in soy, pastel on pavement, and in metals. Her paintings interpret the contexts, beliefs, and behaviors of living beings and our collective existence. She has also been making jewelry from recycled sterling silver for decades, formerly selling under the name Cagibi Jewelry and Art at local galleries, gift shops, and craft fairs. Vache recently won a juror’s award for her piece “Wet Bistro” that hung in the Attleboro Arts Museum’s exhibition “Reign, Rain, Rein” this summer. She currently has other paintings hanging in Boston City Hall (Boston, MA); Nine-Eighteen-Nine Studio Gallery (Charlotte, NC); Aplomb Gallery (Dover, NH); Warwick Center for Fine Arts (Warwick, RI); and Gallery X (New Bedford, MA). Vache also regularly participates in street painting festivals and teaches Fabrication Lab classes in the Boston Public Schools.
