SUMMARY:Winter Exhibitions at the Zillman Art Museum - University of Mai
 ne
DESCRIPTION:The Zillman Art Museum - University of Maine\, located at 40
  Harlow Street in Bangor\, ME\, opens five featured winter exhibitions. 
 ZAM is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 am - 5 pm and brings modern and con
 temporary art to the region\, presenting approximately 21 original exhib
 itions each year. Admission to the Zillman Art Museum is free in 2026 th
 anks to the generosity of Birchbrook.\n\nJACLYN CONLEY:  MADE OF STORIES
 \nJanuary 16 - May 2\, 2026\n\n"Made of Stories" features the large-scal
 e paintings and collages of Connecticut-based artist\, Jaclyn Conley. Th
 ese artworks are driven by curiosity and comprehensive research\; each p
 ainting draws upon many aspects of history and art history. In "A Time f
 or All Things"\, the title was inspired by a quote from Cervantes’ two
 -part novel Don Quixote\, one of the subjects in the painting. Conley co
 mbines the images of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza with the sensational l
 ore of yippies and hippies from the 1967 March on the Pentagon – an ev
 ent in which Abby Hoffman pledged to levitate the government building. T
 hese two accounts are interconnected to form a dynamic narrative that sp
 eaks to the larger concept of a quest for the impossible endeavor.\n\nIn
  the three collaged paintings\, Conley reveals the process of piecing to
 gether fragmented abstractions that inform ideas that are further explor
 ed in larger paintings. Conley explains\, “memory is similar to collag
 e - bits of information are coming together that we weigh differently\, 
 that they change as well\, that they are not solid.” This undertaking 
 is an essential part of making these multi-layered stories.\n\nBy using 
 revered art historical references such as Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s "
 The Hunters in the Snow" - Conley is tapping into a uniting factor of se
 asonal realities while connecting the imagery from archival photographs 
 of the Vermont commune\, Total Loss Farm. These depictions come together
  in "Communards Under the Stars" where Conley incorporates figures and l
 andscapes that evoke a sense of wintry enchantment\, while also revealin
 g the harsh reality of the coldest season. The artist’s use of layered
  oil paint creates movement and texture that pulls the viewer into the r
 ichly colored\, fractured narrative she presents.\n###\n\nJOSIAS FIGUEIR
 IDO: HORIZONS OF REST\nJanuary 16 - May 2\, 2026\n\nIn "Horizons of Rest
 "\, Pennsylvania-based artist Josias Figueirido depicts whimsical enviro
 nments with colorful\, stylized trees and flora that serve as backdrops 
 for his eccentric\, cartoon-like subjects: Piri the Dreamer and his comp
 anion Flying Coyote\, as well as other hybrid creatures. The exhibition 
 brings together an assortment of recently completed large-scale painting
 s along with a series of small canvases. Through the artist’s quirky s
 ettings and characters\, we are invited to contemplate our own fantastic
 al narratives and meaning. Figueirido’s work with animation and digita
 l technology offers an additional experiential opportunity for visitors.
  Using augmented reality viewed through a cell phone\, the artist’s vi
 brant and playful subjects come alive to inhabit the physical space. Dep
 ending on how the viewer navigates the gallery\, hybrid beasts can be se
 en flying about\, while fictional botanicals appear in three dimensions.
 \n\nJosias Figueirido was born in Riberia\, Spain. He received his MFA f
 rom the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia\, and his BA F
 ine Art from London Metropolitan University in London\, UK. Figueirido i
 s Assistant Professor of Art at Seton Hill University in Pennsylvania.\n
