The Chocolate Church Arts Center (CCAC) gallery will feature Maine artists Maryjane Johnston and Tanja Kunz in a show titled “Light, Line, Form,” with an opening event at CCAC on Friday, May 28.

 “Light, Line, Form” will feature recent works from the two artists, and will juxtapose minimalism and fullness through photography and painting.

Maryjane Johnston, who was born in Bermuda and grew up in Cape Elizabeth, is best known for her photographs of the female form. She presents her subjects simplified, with ambiguous shapes that can be revealing, mystifying, and personal. The intimate nature of the subjects immerses the viewer in a universe of sensations sometimes blurring the line between illusion and reality.

Tanja Kunz received her M.F.A from the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, and her B.F.A. from the University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque. Her paintings and drawings reference the natural world, but are abstract and mysterious. The artist says, “With a background in natural healing and traditional medicine, this work reflects my fascination with the energy, beauty, and power of nature.”

The event is free to attend, but guests must register in advance. Tickets and more information can be found at chocolatechurcharts.org. Four people will be allowed to enter the gallery at a time, and face coverings must be worn by all attendees.

 The Chocolate Church Arts Center, at 804 Washington Street in Bath, will host a gallery opening event with the artists on May 28, from 5- 7:30 p.m. The event will take place mostly outdoors, with light refreshments served.

“Light, Line, Form” will be on display until June 26, with the gallery open Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visit the CCAC website and Facebook page for more information, or call 207-442-8455.
