Jeffery C. Becton will be featured guest in "Talking Art in Maine: Intimate Conversations"
Waking Up.



DAMARISCOTTA, ME.- Jeffery C. Becton, renowned pioneer in the field of digital montage photography, will join a host of prominent Maine artists, curators, and scholars who have been past guests of the ongoing series, “Talking Art in Maine: Intimate Conversations,” when he joins moderator Jane Dahmen onstage at the Lincoln Theatre. Event is scheduled to commence on Thursday, May 20th, at 7:00pm for a live, hourlong program at the historic Lincoln Theatre.

Becton, who has made his year round home and studio in Deer Isle, Maine since 1984, has been on the forefront of the digital revolution since the 1970s when he was a graduate student in the Graphics Design program at Yale University. Described by one art critic as “perhaps the best colorist in the history of Maine art in any medium,” Becton’s work has been shown extensively throughout the state of Maine, New York, Florida, and on the west coast in galleries and museums.

The series,“Talking Art in Maine,” which was launched in 2013, was the brainchild of Jane Dahmen, who is a full-time painter, and lover of art and art history. Her idea was to have one-on-one conversations with artists and curators who have made a substantial contribution to the arts in Maine in an hourlong program format, with audience Q&A at the end. In 2014, she partnered with Andrew Fenniman of the Lincoln Theatre to host four artists per year onstage.

Previous guests include a who’s who of the Maine art community, from Alex Katz to Mark Bessire, Eric Hopkins, Jocelyn Lee, Jesse Salisbury, Suzette McAvoy, and Sharon Corwin, just to name a few.

“I am excited to learn more about Jeffery Becton’s digital montages,” said Dahmen. “He has constructed a new art form by superimposing diverse elements layered on top of one another, creating images of haunting beauty.”
