Alden Gallery, 423 Commercial St. in Provincetown, presents a two-person show of works by Alice Denison and Jane Paradise opening Friday, Sept. 3 and running through Sept. 16. There will be an opening night reception from 7 to 9 p.m.

Denison, who has been with Alden Gallery since its inception, is showing works from her Pangloss series, named after a character in Voltaire’s Candide. “Most of the new work in this show is round, which I chose for its spatial effect,” she says in a press release. The botanical paintings evoke a modernized William Morris. Paradise presents “Provincetown, From Dusk Till Dawn,” a selection of pared-down, contemplative photographs. “The quietness of Provincetown really became evident during the last Covid year, both in the physical manifestation of its streets and in my mental state,” says Paradise.
