SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Intuitive Groove: Works by Jeffery Leder
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the opening reception of Intuitive Groove: 30 Years of Geometric Painting\, a retrospective exhibition by Jeffrey Leder. \nSaturday\, September 27\n6:00 – 9:00 PM \nThis landmark exhibition traces three decades of Leder’s bold geometric abstraction—where vibrant color\, structure\, and intuition converge into pure visual rhythm. \nBorn in New York City and later immersed in the vivid landscapes of Puerto Rico\, Leder’s early experiences shaped his fascination with order\, color\, and form. Reflecting on his process\, he notes: \n“The more I consider why I make art\, the more I realize it’s about pleasure—the pleasure of making something beyond myself\, beyond what was imagined… Through formal shapes and structures emerges an emotional expression via color.”

SUMMARY:Golden: Emma Ballou Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Art & Light Gallery is pleased to present “Golden”\, a solo exhibition of work by Emma Ballou (Buxton\, M.E.) launching on the Art & Light website and in the gallery at 10:00 AM (EST) on Tuesday\, September 30 with an opening reception on Friday\, October 3 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. \nWorking in acrylic and oil paint Emma Ballou captures the soft\, luminescent quality of light that she is most visually attracted to in the landscape. Ballou’s ethereal and moody paintings are influenced by her poor eyesight\, making her unique perspective of the world more about feeling than seeing. Her slightly-out-of-focus landscape paintings offer viewers an understanding of how light and dark shape our experience of the natural world. The work highlights the vivid\, fleeting details of the golden hour\, like the halos that outline blooming milkweed and queen anne’s lace and the sparkles of light that make individual blades of grass look like strands of gold. \nIn “Golden” Emma Ballou examines dusk\, which she considers “the most tender and flourishing time of day.” The word golden signifies a perfect middle ground\, a point of ideal balance. It is this intersection of light and dark\, this precise tipping point\, that creates a striking moment of clarity for the artist. Ballou states\, “When the day is done and starts slipping into night the golden hour appears. This normal daily occurrence has a surprising abundance of crescendo energy. Like the grand finale of a fireworks display on the fourth of July. But even as this golden moment starts you can sense its end. Day slides into night\, signaling that it’s finally time to rest and release the day’s energy so you can begin again tomorrow.”

SUMMARY:Mono no aware:  Photography by Leigh Mitchell
DESCRIPTION:Fall is a season of contrasts. The days begin with a chill\, foretelling the coming winter\, then closing with an afternoon of summer heat. We sweater-up in the morning to then shed a layer or two by lunch. We notice the trees are still green\, but that green is dull\, faded\, browning on the edges\, ready for winter rest. Mitchell’s photographs celebrate this seasonal contrast\, the natural cycles of birth and death\, and remind us of the fragility of these cycles. \nHer title\, Mono no aware is a Japanese phrase meaning “beauty tinged with sadness.” Mitchell states\, “More specifically it refers to the bittersweet awareness that all existence is ephemeral\, and every moment of life is short lived.” Nature’s ephemeral existence is not only the seasonal cycle but also the human sourced destruction of the natural cycle. Mitchell’s images of fall as beauty tinged with sadness conjure feelings … “of impending loss”…“feelings of vulnerability\, loss\, loneliness\, precariousness and foreboding.” She elaborates\, “Another translation for ‘mono no aware’ is ‘a sensitivity to things\,’ or noticing\, identifying with\, and having appreciation for things. As a result of this sensitivity\, a subtle ache accompanies the awareness that all things inevitably change form or come to an end. The transience of nature/of life/of reality makes it both haunting and precious.” \nMitchell often employed a Holga camera to record some of her landscapes. The Holga\, with limited control and range is plagued with imprecise outcomes not unlike humans attempts of dominion over the natural world with poor understanding of the long-range outcomes of those interventions. Mitchell applies the same methodical\, labor-intensive production in making digital ink jet prints from digital cameras as she does silver-gelatin prints from the Holga. By eliminating color\, she emphasizes the haunting beauty of these disappearing landscapes ravaged by society’s progress. \nLeigh Mitchell is an artist/educator. She holds a Master’s Degree in Studio Art from Western Carolina University. Her work has been exhibited at The Center for Fine Art Photography\, Fort Collins\, CO; the Rochester Contemporary Art Center\, Rochester\, NY; The Asheville Art Museum; and most recently\, in Greenville\, SC at The SE Center for Photography\, and at the Greenville Center for Creative Arts. Visit www.leighkendramitchell.com for more information. Mono no aware is a welcome to and introduction of Mitchell\, as a newly installed full-time photography instructor\, in Greenville Technical College’s Department of Visual Art.

SUMMARY:JUST A GLIMPSE
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, Sarkis Chorbadjian returned to Cyprus\, his birthplace\, where he spent two and a half weeks reconnecting with its landscapes\, villages\, and relaxed way of life. Not long after\, a major brush fire struck the region\, altering much of the countryside he had just visited. \nIn the studio\, this experience brought new energy to his work. His minimalist abstractions began to carry more form\, reflecting not only what was lost but also what endures. The paintings celebrate the strength of memory and the lasting impression of place offering glimpses of beauty that remain vivid despite change.
