Magically Thinking
Curated by Kim MaraAugust 20 – October 1, 2022
Magically Thinking includes works by Sharon Louise Barnes, Carlos Beltran Arechiga, Vita Eruhimovitz, Margaret Griffith, Kim Marra, Dakota Noot, Megan Reed and Jonathan Ryan. Masters of world-building, these artists transport viewers into their creative consciousness with visual language, often employing obsessive or even ritualistic methods to yield their desired outcome. In painting, drawing, sculpture and installation, these artists travel between the physical world and worlds of their own creation, often blurring the lines between abstraction and representation. Their expression serves as a response to the insecurity of an uncertain world that leads to the mental gymnastics of magical thinking.
Gallery Hours: June 30 – July 30, Thursday – Saturday, between the hours of 10am – 4pm.
Panel from Paris Remembered II, Joyce Weiss, acrylic on canvas.
Joyce Weiss: At Full Volume II
Public Opening Reception: Saturday, August 20th, 3-5pm.
Bold in her use of color and gestural abstraction, paintings by Joyce Weiss present brilliant visions of alternative worlds. At Full Volume II features a selection of paintings by the late Angels Gate Studio Artist.
“Color is my life- I use it at full volume. I work with acrylic or oil paint and often include three-dimensional objects, collage, photographs, and text in my work. My world is populated by imaginary characters and reality bites. The distant past, the volatile present, and our constantly evolving future provide the major inspirations for my work. [An] emotional roller coaster of passion, dreams and nightmares exist in my world of color. With my paintings and writings, I attempt to expose the fantasies that elude us in our waking hours, and the real-life events that affect the human condition in the twenty-first century.” – Joyce Weiss
