Cactus Gallery is pleased to present "Romance of the Residual Realm," an exhibit featuring new paintings, hand sculpted pendants, and a few mixed media works by artist Patricia Krebs. This show, Patricia's 7th solo show for Cactus Gallery, is bittersweet as she will be leaving the US next week to live in Argentina once again.
Opening reception: Saturday, September 13, 2014 * 4p-10p
Show runs: September 13 - October 12, 2014
Gallery hours: Saturday and Sunday 11a-5p and by appointment.
Romance is not necessarily tied to a love story. In fact, it may refer to a literary genre of epic stories, often filled with fantasy creatures, where perhaps a hero goes on a quest. Romance may also refer to an artistic movement, one arising from a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature. This movement, which validated intense emotion and spontaneity as an authentic source of the aesthetic experience, also harnessed the power of the imagination to escape the confines of industrialization.
In "Romance of the Residual Realm," our heroine finds herself in a world destroyed, on a quest to create and give new meaning to whatever is left. In the same way as the narrative, Krebs created the works for this exhibit with remnants and abandoned elements, including canvases and paint that other artists discarded. Please join us to celebrate Patricia's journey!
