Courthouse Gallery Fine Art in Ellsworth presents three exhibitions: “Philip Frey: Unexpected Light,” “Geoff Smith, Sculpture,” and new work by Jeffery Becton, Ragna Bruno and John Neville.

The shows will be on view from Wednesday through July 16 and are free and open to the public.

Frey has been represented by Courthouse Gallery for the past 10 years. He studied painting at the Columbus College of Art and Design, printmaking at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts and holds a BFA from Syracuse University. Frey has received several grants and awards, including the Heliker-LaHotan Foundation Residency in 2012. His work can be found in private and corporate collections across the world. This year, Frey’s work will be the subject of a solo exhibition at the University of Maine Museum of Art.

Geoff Smith, who died in 2009, summered on Deer Isle for 20 years. He made sculpture non-stop during his 40-year career and is best known for his large-scale, curvilinear and abstract sculptures. Several of them are included in this show. Smith worked in a variety of media, including steel, stone, wood, fiberglass, clay and bronze.
