 "Collins Company Rain" / Joe Hoke Gallery on the Green’s Fifty-First Anniversary Show currently occupies the founders and upstairs galleries at the corner of Albany Turnpike (Route 44) and Dowd Avenue, but visitors shouldn’t overlook the paintings by Joe Hoke that are hanging in the cozy space at the top of the stairs in the Spotlight Gallery.
Hoke is back to painting after a successful career in advertising, and the Pittsburgh Art Institute graduate says “it’s all about atmosphere and light. The scene is secondary. The prime focus: what light does to the scene.”
Hoke’s show and the Fifty-First Anniversary Show will run through Aug. 7. Gallery on the Green is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.

 "Birch Tree" (photograph) / Malcolm G. MacKenzie “Trees” is the title of Malcolm G. MacKenzie’s photographic exhibit in the Upstairs Gallery at Gallery on the Green, so you might find yourself a bit thrown when you come upon photographs featuring the likes of a great horned owl, or nesting great blue herons, or the unoccupied rowboat resting atop almost perfectly still water.
Don’t be. It all makes perfect sense.
As MacKenzie sees it, everything in the exhibit is connected in one way or another to trees, including, as he puts it, “the critters that depend upon them for survival.”
MacKenzie, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, who now splits his time between Canton and the southeast coast of Florida, owned Finlay Printing in Hartford for many years. That exposed him to plenty of photography, but he didn’t take it up seriously for his own enjoyment until about six years ago.
Since then, he has brought his camera along on trips to places such as Antarctica, Alaska, Yellowstone, Argentina, Peru, Tanzania and Kenya.
MacKenzie admits to having had “a clandestine love affair with trees” all his life. But he says he didn’t understand the depth of that relationship until he began reviewing his work and preparing for this show.

 "Music Stands" (Photograph: from Warwick Middle School Series) / Bill Cifuni In addition to Robert Dente’s show downstairs, two others opened on Friday, April 22, at Gallery on the Green.
Jon M. Eastman is in the Spotlight Gallery with creations he says were influenced by the likes of “constructivism, dada, art deco, abstract expressionism, pop culture, flea markets, 1950′s design and the ‘green’ or ‘upcycling’ movement.”
According to Eastman, “My work is essentially a hybrid of making art and collecting ‘junk’ or, more specifically, found objects and discarded materials. I’m just as inspired by a vintage paint scraper or television tube as seeing a Jackson Pollock painting; the challenge is to put these elements together and make a new statement.”
Mari Skarp and photographer Bill Cifuni are sharing space in the big room upstairs.
“Over the last three years, my art practice has embraced and integrated both textual research and material investigations into the complex subject of memory,” Skarp says. “My work is influenced by the possibility that memory may have no specific form, and is full of endless possibilities and interpretations.”
Cifuni says he has “always had an interest and appreciation of the past, and much of my artwork is carried by a sense of history, time and place; how they unfold and have us reflect upon our collective memories. The photos and videos I create revolve around two themes: the subtle narrative description of our experiences that materialize within our world, and the threshold of time where these specific moments reside.”
Gallery on the Green is open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. The three shows currently on display run through May 22.
