Elements of Art: Texture Opens   

Elements of Art: Texture is open and will remain a featured exhibition through November 6, 2012. This exhibition is quite an experience! 

 
  

Artists of Distinction for this show are Jarred Pfeiffer, Patrick Linehan, and Linnea Heide. These artists have been awarded the opportunity to display more of their art as Gallery Artists as well as the opportunity to have a portfolio published in Still Point Arts Quarterly.

Look for the work of these amazing artists in our current online exhibition as well as in these other venues in the near future.  

Also, be sure to read Editor's Remarks, comments about this exhibition taken from the fall issue of  Still Point Arts Quarterly. 

Still Point Arts Quarterly   

The Gallery's publication, Still Point Arts Quarterly , was recently reviewed for NEWPAGES.COM by Mitchell Jarosz. Here are a few excerpts:  

"Personally, I believe this is as good as it gets. Poets capturing a moment; writers describing process, painters clearly explaining their work. And a collection that draws one in rather than just publish another issue." 

"...this issue of the Still Point Arts Quarterly is like a rainbow: I have to consider one color at a time, step back and look at the whole thing, and forgetfully start looking at one color again."

During every exhibition, a small number of artists are singled out because of the distinctiveness of their work. These Artists of Distinction are selected because their work shows strong evidence of skill with the medium and contributes in a meaningful way to the theme of the exhibition. In addition, these artists are selected because their work is engaging in some special and unique way. Artists of Distinction are offered the opportunity to exhibit more of their art as Gallery Artists. This month we draw attention to painter Kajal Zaveri.    

Winter Blossom

Kajal Zaveri's current work is inspired by nature--limitless horizons and wide open landscapes. The amalgamation of life in her native country of India, her international travels, and her life now in beautiful California have exposed her to bounty, beauty, and blessings that have inspired her to dream big and bold. Her paintings evoke the expanses of these beautiful encounters, but, rather than representing a specific place, her abstract portrayals give the viewer only the most essential elements. Zaveri hopes that her work entices viewers to create their own stories and visualizations about the places and subjects of her work. 

Zaveri has worked in many mediums--oil, watercolor, charcoal, pastels, pencil and ink--but she particularly enjoys the freedom granted by big, bold, tactile strokes and multilayering of oils.  Her style is a mix of abstract and semi-abstract in rich, vibrant colors. She aims for her work to be free flowing, uninhibited, bold, and colorful.

Painting is a manifestation of my innermost feelings and experiences. Painting allows me to capture the mystery and beauty of the world and share that with others. I am also interested in showing the similarities between the East and West, through color, technique, and the universal themes of belonging and belief.   

Kajal Zaveri was born in India and has lived in California for the last fifteen years. She holds an M.B.A. in finance and an M.A. in economics, and she has worked in various corporate areas. Currently, she is a full-time mom and painter.

Kajal Zaveri was named an Artist of Distinction in Still Point Art Gallery's exhibition: Still Point IV.
