Art by Alice Merlone and Steven Wiseman Will Highlight Attleboro Arts Museum Auction

Artist Alice Merlone has always been fascinated by circles and squares. Started in 2003, her Contemplation series is a noteworthy body of work in her artistic journey that employs a circle-inside-a-square format. The upcoming Live Benefit Art Auction, presented by the Attleboro Arts Museum, features a Contemplation III, Series III monoprint by Merlone. It shows a mandala with a brick-red background and circular designs in blue, yellow, and green.

Another highlight is a wooden craftwork titled Mother and Child by Steven Wiseman. The artist draws inspiration from nature, particularly from wooden elements. As a young boy, Wiseman keenly watched his father modeling train layouts. The artist further honed his wood crafting skills at the Wentworth Institute. His works have been showcased at the South Shore Arts Festival, the Arnold Arboretum, and the Fuller Craft Museum, AAM. To view the complete catalog and register to bid online, visit Bidsquare.
