7th Heaven
October 2021, Waedenswil Switzerland
The number 7 has always been privileged over the others and a rich symbology has been born around it. “The seven, because of its hidden virtues, maintains all things in being, it is the dispenser of life and movement and is decisive in influencing celestial beings,” said Hippocrates. According to numerology, when one thinks of the seven one must understand it as the sum between the 3 and the 4, considering it therefore as the sum of the totality. Seven is a number which often recurs in history, religion and philosophy. It has great importance in the arts: the seven liberal arts, the 7 colours of the rainbow; and in the various conventions: 7 chakras, 7 lunar phases, 7 days of the week, and 7 musical notes.
The exhibition titled "7th Heaven" organized by Christina Hiltscher presents the works of seven artists, each with a unique signature and style, all different from each other. The exhibition in fact presents the sum of different artists, four painters, a sculptor and two photographers, who together create a varied and impactful exhibition, showing the totality of art in some of its most favourite forms.
The combination created by the union of these seven artists does not create disorder but rather a magical harmony, just like the number 7. The journey starts with the refined and powerful peak landscape shots by Caroline Micaela Hauger, reaches to the mysterious and tranquil works of Jacqueline Racle wrapped in a slight haze; from the colourful works of figurative art by Magnus, to the deep and abstract works inspired by nature and intuition of witty | Erica Wittenwiler; to then moving closer to the contemplation of the female figure through clay and bronze sculptures by Denise Cornelius and the delicate, close up faces of M. J. Hale; to end up traveling through the experimental and contrasting photographs of Alex C.
The exhibition "7th Heaven" is a perfect combination of art in all its facets, it is a journey through nature, the abstract, the figurative and the connection with the body. It is a way to invite the observer to reach the "seventh heaven" through contemplation.

Hale establishes an almost tangible emotional connection to his characters and artworks, making them complete with your point of view.
