It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a sculpture show that was genuinely exciting. So, thank you, Greenhut Galleries, for rousing me from my jaded lethargy with “Objects/Objectivity” (through Mar. 6), the brainchild of Greenhut staffers (and artists) Roy Germon and Dean McCrillis.

The exhibition’s excitement is due not only to the actual work on display, which is by three very different Maine artists: Nobleboro-based George Mason, Jefferson-based John Mess and Waterville-based Oliver Solmitz. The exhilaration has to do with the dialogue that ricochets around the room among the works themselves, stimulating a constant push-pull between order and chaos, remoteness and immediacy, serenity and explosive energy.
