In flowers\, he finds complicated patterns\, shapes\, and repetition; elements that show up in all of his paintings. \nPlease join us for a reception with Carlos on Tuesday\, December 17th.  You can also enjoy his paintings through January 22nd. \n  \n\n \n \n \n\n \n pinkanglespinkpurplemulticolor \n\n \n \n \n \n  \nCarlos has developed a signature technique that employs a sharp edge to create clean straight lines that extend the limits of his subjects\, adding drama and energy and a bold recognition to each painting. His use of shadow plays an important role in his work\, enhancing the contrast between the darkness and his vivid colors. \nCarlos doesn’t simply paint the still life subjects he sees\, but the dream-like gestures that he feels. Working with familiar compositions\, he hopes to create artwork that conveys not only the visual reality of his subjects\, but the vibrant extension of energy into their surroundings. \nCarlos Santiago is from Caguas\, Puerto Rico. He obtained his BFA in fine art from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah\, Georgia. He subsequently worked for ten years as a design professional in the fashion industry in New York City. Now\, Carlos lives and works in Boston\, Ma. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/csantiago/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:All Ages GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241217T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241217T183000 DTSTAMP:20260417T011442 CREATED:20241119T184609Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241210T141141Z UID:50406-1734456600-1734460200@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Art Opening Reception: Carlos Santiago DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for a reception for artist Carlo Santiago\, whose art will be featured at the BFL from December 12th – January 22nd.  This is your chance to meet the artist and to enjoy his art.

Informed by years of jazz improvisation and the tactile nature of paper collage\, his process embraces spontaneity and a pursuit of balance between order and disorder. Tom values fundamental artistic principles\, yet intentionally introduces ambiguity to ignite curiosity and encourage viewers to venture beyond familiar perspectives. While often abstract\, his pieces resonate with an underlying “soul” and subtly reference the organic forms and energies of nature. Ultimately\, Tom aims to craft works that prompt personal interpretation and reveal unseen possibilities\, echoing the belief that compelling art poses questions and offers new ways of seeing. \nAccording to Tom: “I use color and texture to challenge but also soothe you. While I don’t require beauty to be an element of my work\, I value beauty hence Ease Your Eyes.” \nCome to the BFL to view Tom’s work\, which will be on display from November 5th through January 28th.  You can also enjoy his work at The Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN) in the Spring of 2026.  \n  \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Doran_silverDoran_redDoran_green \n\n \n \n \n \n  \n  \nTom’s art career didn’t actually begin with art. Instead it started with music. First\, rock\, in the soul\, funk\, and r&b area\, then on to jazz. The jazz aesthetic provided the basis for his art: study and be well prepared so that when it’s time to improvise- make the leap! \nTwenty years ago he began improvising with collage and paint. Now his art is in the digital domain but he uses the same techniques\, now called “pixel collages”: Use original images\, find things to work together\, keep it fresh\, improvise. Tom is fascinated by nature\, geometry\, and strong colors so all of that comes out in his pictures\, which he describes as a collision of nature and the modern world; at times ironic\, funny\, eye candy-like\, digital\, abstract\, and hopefully\, fun. \nTom is a proficient jazz bassist and singer who is mostly self taught\, he is mainly a self-taught artist as well.  His influences include Picasso\, Matisse\, Joseph Stella\, Juan Gris\, Georgia O’Keefe\, Lee Krazner\, Arthur Dove\, Gerhard Richter\, Romare Beardon\, Sam Gilliam\, and Mark Bradford. \nTom says: “Please judge me by my work.” \n  URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/tdoran/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:All Ages GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260129T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260318T173000 DTSTAMP:20260417T011442 CREATED:20260105T201136Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260131T164553Z UID:53888-1769679000-1773855000@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Walnut Hill School for the Arts DESCRIPTION:Walnut Hill School for the Arts is an independent boarding and day high school offering an immersive and intensive educational experience designed for student artists in Grades 9–12\, with a postgraduate gap year also available. \nIn the Visual Art Department\, students acquire foundational skills and hone their creative impulses through personal practice\, faculty guidance\, and exposure to the work of peers.
