SIZE MATTERS “Big Beautiful Paintings” is an apt title for the canvasses of Gillian Klein, Lucinda Mason and Nancy Taplin, currently exhibited together at Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery; the works range from big to bigger. All three artists take a consistent approach to imagery, and each fully explores a specific theme. Klein’s is nocturnal cityscapes; Mason’s, postmodern design-inspired abstraction. Taplin’s palette is lighter, her ribbons of color more organic-looking. It’s a strong trio of top-flight Vermont painters. Pictured: Taplin’s “I Can’t Hear You.”
