    The Lyman Allyn Art Museum has announced the opening of “Locations: Recent Work by Marian Bingham,” on view through April 10.

    Bingham, better known as “Bing,” is an award-winning artist, printmaker, and longtime Connecticut resident, who played a significant role in the state’s art community for decades.

    The Lyman Allyn’s exhibition explores place, temporality, memory and meaning in her work. Shifting between materials and techniques, the artist’s practice concerns formal artistic exploration grounded in observation, narrative and allegory.

    “Bing has long been a friend and advocate for the Lyman Allyn,” said Museum Director Sam Quigley in a release. “We are thrilled to present a selection of her recent work, which explores her life-long passion for the arts.”

    The show features multi-panel paintings that offer sweeping views of forests and fields, while smaller canvases depict evocative, poetic spaces. Recent prints and collages reveal the artist’s exploration of seriality, color, form, and texture. Still-life and interior views alternate with imaginative scenes that playfully juxtapose materials and effects.

    The exhibition will be on view in the Glassenberg Gallery on the first floor.

    Also on display at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum is “Norman Ives: Constructions & Reconstructions,” a large-scale exhibition that explores the range and evolution of Norman Ives’ work and features examples of his paintings, collages, screen prints, bas-reliefs, murals and graphic design.

    This exhibition will be on view through April 24.
