Tactile Intimacy: Portraiture of M. J. Hale
September 7th - October 15th, East Austin TX
​...text continued from slide show:
​
A sense of touch seemingly transcends the canvas. Hale’s work bears the weight of classical influence, yet his pieces exude a refreshing modernity.
It is this innovative approach that led to his recognition at the prestigious 2019 Summer Exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts in London, with his piece "Moondog", also on view in the gallery.
Hale’s twenty-year career as a professional video editor and director significantly informs his artistic approach. Cinematic nuances are evident in the composition of his pieces, his meticulous observation, and the intricate interplay of light and dark.
His works echo the techniques of a filmmaker, bringing a layer of narrative drama to his still works.
Living with multiple sclerosis, Hale's journey is as much about personal resilience as it is about artistic exploration. His dedication to his craft amidst personal challenges underlines the transformative power of art and passion. It is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and the capacity to create beauty and connection in the face of adversity.
This exhibition is a tribute to the journey of M. J. Hale. It showcases the transformative power of following one's passion and reminds us of the ability of art to move beyond the frame, stirring our senses and emotions in the most unexpected ways. It is not just a display of his creations, but an invitation to experience the world through his discerning eyes.
Artist Statement:
I am interested in a close and personal relationship with the subject. Even when the subject isn’t human, my art has a kind of voyeuristic-style point of view. Zoomed-in, up close and personal.

Juliette Lepage Boisdron: Tales In Ink
June 22nd - September 3rd
Sold
​...text continued from slide show:
​
The scenes that unfold, at first sight, seem simple, playful, then become tinged with more complex allusions, feminist, or ecological themes, but above all with the torrent of life's emotions, of the relationships that the characters have with each other, and which are mixed with their inner feelings. Juliette’s characters have an indigenous, pure and natural feel about them. A beautiful innocence that stands in contrast to the artists societal challenges.
Her work explores in a sometimes provocative way the notions of femininity, courage, vulnerability and power. The artist questions the functioning of society, its codes, and the role that women play in it. She addresses maternity, the family and transgenerational relationships.
The artist about herself:
“I have a language which is more archaic than the spoken word. It is painting. I communicate with emotions, not with words. I would not be able to verbally express what I say in most of my paintings.”

​
Her creative process is akin to writing a poem, as she expertly layers paint and mixed media to build captivating compositions that emanate strength, energy, and serenity.
Each piece is a testament to her innate understanding of the natural world and her unique ability to transform raw elements into visual poetry.​ Sometimes overt, sometimes concealed, each of witty's pieces contains a written message, encouraging viewers to enter into dialogue with her art and find their own meaning.
​
Witty’s Artist Statement:
"Viewers of my works can immerse themselves and let their own imagination flow. When you let yourself drift, you become an artist in dialogue with the images."

Monica's work represents the nature of our uniqueness through bodies and faces, mirroring identity and reflecting the soul. Sara abstracts the reality of our inner landscapes and through her geometric approach and use of light, she captures the core of perception and inner reflection. They create a dialogue by peeling back layers, connecting underneath the surface to the essence of life and what it means to be human.

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. 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 7th Heaven 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.
