SPRING 2023
Focus on Staffan Gnosspelius
|
Drawing is at the heart of what Staffan Gnosspelius does. Most of the time an idea starts in his sketchbook. There it stays while it gets processed, redrawn, scrutinized, and eventually discarded or developed into a print or a project. He draws for pleasure. He doodles when he doesn’t know what to draw. He draws when things are hard. His art practice helps him process these feelings. Drawing and creating artwork is a way for him to digest the world around him and the world inside him.

FALL 2022
Focus on Rika Maja Duevel
|
Rika Maja Duevel is a global nomad and her wanderings make up the nucleus of her work. With each adventure, she finds new inspiration and documents a different story—a sketchbook always within reach to record ideas as they come. Striking by their vibrant colors and patterns, her artworks aim to capture the moment and manifest from her daily experiences. She allows herself to embrace or let go of each one by sharing a piece of it with others. Her wish is that the observer might be able to pull their own experience out of each painting.

SUMMER 2022
Focus on Sacha Carden
|
The Atlanta Journal speaks of Sacha Carden as an artist whose journey from East to West is reflected in her "use of bold colors, large canvas, and free line and form." Landscapes express a state of calm and peacefulness and exult the candid sincerity of her works, realized as in a trance.
Art critic and historian Petre Oprea: "Carden uses intense colors, predominantly incendiary reds and greens. The brush strokes are casual and are distributed over large areas of color. All these works captivate through chromatic sensitivity. In this way, her paintings inexhaustibly reveal her potential and artistic possibilities in rendering landscapes with a poetic charge of feminine sophistication." |
