Art in Salisbury

In a tribute to photographer Bill Binzen, who died in 2010, his fellow artists, 14 of them, have mounted a beautiful exhibit at Salisbury School’s Tremaine Gallery. The work is varied, taking in Joseph Meehan’s frigid and mighty snowscapes; Jonathan Doster’s atmospheric images from Burma; a cheetah in a tree attributed to Dan Mead and Sally Eagle who shoot together; Tom Zetterstrom’s afflicted trees; and gorgeously abstracted waterscapes by George Shattuck. Peter Pierce turned out the amazing and witty “Blue Dog Leather,” a shop jammed with saddles, belts, tools, jelly jars and, if you keep looking, a small child in blue and four dogs; and Anne Day’s untitled photographs include one with birds, perhaps doves, in flight in Paris, close and fleeting. Christina Lane shows us working machines and working men, both steely and worn; Fred Collins gives us an orderly look at clams out of water; Mark Houtzager’s “Death Valley” describes the course of wind and light on the sere landscape. And Sandra Haiko and Robert Haiko show us their own zany worlds. Finally, John Gruen contributed his exquisitely lit and painterly still lifes, a treat to look at again and again. Through April 29. Information: 860-435-5700.
