MAGALI LENARCZAK

“CE QUI NOUS RELIE - THAT WHICH CONNECTS US”

AUGUST 6 - 29

There are bonds we can touch and bonds we can only feel. A glance between friends, a hand on a shoulder, a shared memory, the comfort of belonging, the quiet presence of a tree - these connections, both visible and unseen, weave through our lives and shape who we become. Artist Magali Lenarczak presents a collection of works depicting human figures and natural forms that echo off one another, revealing a world built on relationships and interdependence. Each painting is an invitation to explore the threads that unite us with one another, with our memories and with the living world that surrounds us. Beneath our differences flows a common current: that which connects us. www.magalipaint.com

“OBSESSIONS
JULY 2 - 25
For artist, Germain Mitacc, obsessions arise from deep desires of dreams, longings and private imaginings that surface in moments of vulnerability. At times, these thoughts are difficult to silence, and the hope that they might become real can turn inward affecting his sense of balance and well-being. What begins as a search for comfort also becomes a source of creative energy. These recurring thoughts help him return to meaningful memories and to people whose presence he do not want to lose to time. They draw him back to moments of missed opportunity, where he begins to imagine different choices and alternative paths his life might have taken. Ultimately, he seeks to transform these intense patterns of thought into creative expression, giving shape to feelings that might otherwise remain unresolved.

INTRODUCING ONE OF OUR NEW RESIDENT ARTISTS

JOANN WADGE - https://www.joannwadge.com
THE ALCHEMY OF CLAY

May 7 - 30

Introducing one of our new resident artists, Joann Wadge: The Alchemy of Clay is a quiet ritual of metamorphosis, where raw earth is refined by the rhythm of the hand and subjected to the fire of the kiln. In this collection, I explore the transformative process of turning earth-bound clay into organic forms that echo the natural world. My work is a dialogue between the structured geometry of a flat clay slab and the unpredictable fluidity of hand building. I allow the slabs to retain their organic memory—revealing soft undulating curves, raw, textured edges, and a gentle tension that mirrors natural landscapes. This body of work is a celebration of the elemental shift from soft, wet mud to a permanent, resonant ceramic. These pieces are intended to bring a sense of geological time, quiet contemplation, and natural beauty.
