OPENING Reception Friday May 13, 5-7.
''Broken Open’’ The title (like the paintings) are subconscious windows to a variety of experiences....you feel what it is for you.
Places that are broken and need love and light..places that were broken and have opened to light or are in the process, places that are still being broken into.. all these places needs a mirror to see itself and not feel so alone. Visual Abstract Windows are powerful ifor the purpose of this kind of communing and participating in a common room full of rich honest sharings.For me and Kelly, joy has opened through a LONG JOURNEY of self inquiry and healing and still there are a lot of numb and deadened places to visit and bring to life.
Kelly:
“Through pain and suffering I have struggled to know myself, the truth of who I am. I am love and have been on a journey of love back to myself. I now welcome myself home. Through this journey I had to be turned upside down in every way to see who I was. I was beautifully broken open, and from this have emerged like a butterfly flying free from its cocoon. ‘'
Nathalie:
''Honesty is the basis of Art for me... Here, people feel like they can trust my work and trust to allow it into their lives.
Being Broken in some core aspects of myself at a very young age and choosing the path of self recovery has been a courageous journey. Art has been the safe heaven where i could come back too and feel/ see who i really am, a conversation with my soul.
I strive to allow what broken parts still need to express in synch with the healed light parts. My Genre is a combination of aesthetic design, cubism, surealism and expressionism. It makes for a unique combination of ‘ graffitti markings with 3D visual effects and the cubist deconstruction découpé of color planes. You will aslo feel Chagall’s influence in there (my first love in art school).
The MAIN intent in my work is self acceptance in where i am precisely at. This is not easy and i go through LOTS of self doubts about my art journey. then, eventually, in the process, i GET MY OWN DRIFT and that FEELs like such an amazing loving place to be.”
Fee Free to ask more questions. It is important to me to engage in these deeper languages and have that relationship with you all.
