Atlantic Works Gallery is pleased to present work by two artists: B. Amore and Dominick Takis on view November 7 through November 28, 2026.
East Boston native, B. Amore, is an artist, educator and writer who has spent her life between Italy and America. Following the Thread consists of panels that were part of her exhibit, “Life Line: filo della vita” originally displayed at Ellis Island Immigration Museum in 1999-2000. The exhibit traveled in the US and Italy. The families represented in the panels lived first in the North End, then in East Boston. After the exhibit, the panels will be held by the East Boston Museum and Historical Association.
Dominick Takis’s artwork explores the relationship between the natural environment, memory, and the human impulse to collect and transform. In Messenger/Convergence, Takis creates sculptural mixed-media paintings that move between painting, relief, and assemblage. Collected organic materials are combined with spray foam, epoxy, acrylic, oil-based clay, gesso, and resin to construct layered and dimensional surfaces. He also creates small sculptural forms, including birds and insects, which inhabit these environments and introduce moments of recognition and narrative.
Gallery Hours: Fridays and Saturdays, 2–6 PM, or by appointment
