New works by Raleigh, NC artist Chantal Tomiello will be featured at the gallery in a one-woman show titled The Shape of Light. The show includes 19 of her original acrylic pieces showcasing her popular abstracted landscapes, female figures, and several ballet motif paintings.The show runs from Friday, Sept. 6 through Saturday, Oct. 12. An opening reception to meet and speak with the artist is set for Friday evening from 5 – 7 p.m. The French-Canadian born Tomiello says, “Deconstruction of a realistic subject into abstraction is something that inspires me. I want to break down what I see into simple shapes tin order to reveal that one thing which brings wonder and excitement to my subject. I currently work with a limited palette of acrylics on multiple paintings at one time. This allows time and distance to find the magic, to play freely between canvases without being too focused on any one result. It’s also been interesting to me how line can impact a painting. It invokes a feeling of ‘unfinished’ and ‘raw,’ thus allowing the viewer to be a part of the paintings history.” We hope you’ll join us at the reception. The gallery is located at 10283 Beach Drive SW (Hwy 179) in Calabash, NC. Telephone: 910.575.5999.
