Alessandra Maria's "RITE."

Opening on Friday, November 4th, 2022 at Galerie Fledermaus in Chicago, Illinois is artist Alessandra Maria's exceptional, must see solo exhibition, "RITE."

Utilizing a limited palette of graphite, gold leaf, and ink, Maria displays a prodigious command of craft. Her work succeeds in evoking symbolist undertones while also transcending tradition to gesture toward something entirely new.

Exploring the space between dreams and reality, between tradition and heresy, "RITE" is an incantation, a chant calling forth truths from a world shrouded in mystery and mist.  The result is the female form elevated to an iconography unto itself, inhabiting worlds of myth and magic.   

"RITE" is not meant to be viewed as a collection of separate works, but rather as illustrations for a sacred text.  Maria has created a world – a society, bound by ritual and belief, in which all elements interconnect. Her subjects are both a celebration and a subversion of the sacred feminine; primal demigoddesses of the dusk, of the space between worlds.

For Maria, "RITE" represents a homecoming of sorts. A return to the world building of her youth when her unencumbered imagination conjured mysterious realms.  She began drawing as a means of capturing these worlds of witches and goddesses, giving form to the contents of her dreams. In that way "RITE" is also a map, the work of a cartographer tracing the way back to where her world began.

Adam Hall’s “Dreamweaver.”

Opening on August 5th, 2022 at Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina is artist Adam Hall’s excellent solo exhibition of new works, “Dreamweaver.”

Based on dreams of paintings Hall experiences, the show encompasses themes of fear, leaps of faith, hope and starting anew.  "This show,“ Adam says, "is a sort of a reawakening of dreaming again and fostering those dreams.”

J. Henry’s “Sine Metu.”

Opening on Saturday, July 16th, 2022 at Haven Gallery in Northport, New York is artist J. Henry’s solo exhibition, “Sine Metu.”

“Sine Metu” is a collection of fifteen oil paintings that chronicle the adventures and tales of knights, fairies, putti and other mythological beings in the artists masterly trompe l’eoil style (trick of the eye). The title “Sine Metu” is Ancient Latin for “without fear”, and embraces the tribulations our legendary protagonists embark on while they mingle with death, traverse tumultuous seas and battle fabled foes. With an emphasis on dualities, Henry focuses on themes of life and death, beauty and the grotesque, good and evil and other competing motifs ultimately creating harmoniously balanced compositions. Each scene represents micro events and details, executed with precision and potency, highlighting personal challenges and triumphs.
