Hammond Residential Real Estate to Exhibit the Works of Jean Cain: Boston and Beyond

BOSTON (September 8, 2015) - The Hammond Residential Real Estate office located in the ATELIER 505 building, at 505 Tremont Street in Boston’s South End, is pleased to announce that it will exhibit a collection of works by artist Jean Cain entitled Boston and Beyond, from September 2015 through March 2016. An opening reception will be held on Sunday, September 27 from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m., at which time the artist will be present to receive questions about her work.

Cain’s paintings focus on the urban landscape and its ever-changing appearance. She predominantly focuses on the Boston area by highlighting the city’s architecture and historical scenery. Often lacking human presence, her work focuses on Boston’s stillness and sense of history, revealing “tension between the old and the new.”

The artist received a BFA from Syracuse University. After living, working and painting in the New York, Cain and her husband moved to Hingham, Massachusetts to raise four children. As one can imagine, she needed a peaceful place to paint, so she converted a rustic barn on her property to a working art studio where her oils and acrylics flourished with scenes from throughout the region. In 1980 with her children grown, she moved to Boston’s Back Bay, relocating her home studio to the city’s finest artist community at Fort Point Channel. Utilizing oils and acrylics Cain focused on Boston’s unique architecture, the old and the new, side-by-side. Corporate commissions for Boston City Hall, The Copley Plaza Hotel, Biogen, and many others soon followed.

Cain has exhibited her work throughout the Boston area, including the Chapel Gallery, Newton, MA, Boston Center for the Arts, and Boston City Hall.

Throughout its twenty-three year history, Hammond Residential Real Estate has made the visual and performing arts the primary focus of its corporate philanthropy. “We believe in giving back to the communities that we serve through free events focused on the many local artists who make Boston such an exciting and vibrant place to live,” stated Hammond Senior Vice President Dave Stenberg. “In addition to our fine arts exhibits, we also sponsor a series of free chamber music concerts that highlight the talents of emerging performers,” he said.
