Paint is my primary medium, ever versatile in conveying the panorama of abstract sensations to allegorical narratives. This show is a sampling of my varying visual languages.
Most of these paintings were done in the past year, as ways to sustain mental fortitude. As I share them, hopefully they will be cathartic for viewers. “The viewer completes the work of art”
– Marcel DuChamp.

My art process is a seesaw search for balance between information consumption and healthy peacefulness. The only thematic “lane” I stay in is to remember, “beauty and art matter, even during a pandemic”.

Welcome Debbie Sloan as our newest AGGG Member and Featured Artist for April. We are excited Debbie has joined our gallery. Her color palette and abstract treatment are beautiful, moving and unique. Debbie describes her inspiration …”I have always loved color and light. My inspiration for my color comes from the vibrant hues of nature. My English grandfather was an artist as was my English mother. I am self- taught, but maybe some of the genes trickled down. I have been painting seriously now for about 6 years. My style has morphed into abstract. I love it because most of the time the only thing I do know about what is going on the canvas is the color palette. It is so exciting to watch an abstract develop.”

Meet Debbie and other AGGG Artists during April’s First Friday, April 2nd, 6 – 9 pm. We will continue to follow COVID-19 guidelines.

GCCA will open their newest art exhibition, Uncanny Terrain, on Friday, April 2nd, 2021 from 1 pm – 9 pm. In Uncanny Terrain, artists Bryce Speed (Tuscaloosa, AL) and Maja Godlewska (Charlotte, NC) paint surreal environments as a means to investigate our relationship with the changing natural world. With abstracted fragments of shape and pattern and color derived from a heightened sensitivity to the environment, the artists help us to reconsider the world around us and our connection to it. Maja Godlewska’s paintings and installations contemplate and defy the instantaneous search for the idyllic landscape. Finding where synthetic and natural realities merge, Bryce Speed paints dream-like environments to chronicle the changing climate as a metaphor for the evolving human self. Uncanny Terrain is sponsored by OnPoint CFO.

Journey through Christa McAuliffe’s life in this multi-media Immersive Living Experience, performed by Judith Kalaora of History At Play. CHALLENGER: Soaring With Christa McAuliffe™ pays homage to the United States’ Teacher in Space program and the crew of the NASA space shuttle. Discover the true story behind the internationally recognized heroine. Thirty-five years ago, the space shuttle Challenger exploded just over a minute after liftoff, killing all seven crew members, including New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. The Challenger explosion on Jan. 28, 1986, happening just 73 seconds after liftoff due to an O-ring seal failure, was the first fatal accident for NASA since 1967. The millions who watched the liftoff were inspired by McAuliffe, 37, who was the first American civilian to board a space shuttle. She was chosen from a pool of 11,000 teachers to board the Challenger mission as part of a NASA program called the “Teacher in Space Project.”
The event is Free and will feature audience Q & A.
Registration required. https://tinyurl.com/5zc88fjz

After the event everyone who has registered will receive an email with a link to the presentation that will be available for two days only.
