This Spring Gallery Night, art enthusiasts will have the opportunity to immerse
themselves in the dynamic and thought-provoking creations of three visionary
William Campbell Gallery artists: Justin Adian, James Marshall, and Harmony Padgett.
Justin Adian's exhibition Reverb will be on view at the Gallery's Byers Avenue location.
James Marshall and Harmony Padgett's exhibitions, The Morphology of Being and No Words
from Thin Skies, respectively, will be on view at the Gallery's Foch Street location.
Each artist brings a unique perspective and technique to their work, promising a diverse
and enriching experience for visitors.
James Marshall, a seasoned artist based in Santa Fe, NM, has spent the past decade
refining his style, marked by amorphous forms that exude an otherworldly allure.
Marshall's latest series, The Morphology of Being, is characterized by intricate
dialogues between glaze and form, reflecting his profound connection to the creative
process. With a masterful command of color chemistry, Marshall breathes life into his
creations, allowing them to transcend conventional boundaries and embody a sense of
fluidity and vitality. The six large-scale works featured in his upcoming exhibition
represent the culmination of years of experimentation and introspection, offering
viewers a glimpse into Marshall's compelling artistic evolution.
Harmony Padgett, a Texas-born artist with a penchant for pushing the boundaries of
traditional painting, presents her latest series, No Words from Thin Skies. Incorporating
unexpected elements such as cutout areas and gestural strokes of color, Padgett's works
invite viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between spontaneity and control.
Inspired by the vastness of the world and the inherent complexities of human existence,
Padgett's paintings serve as a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.
Through her exploration of internal fragility and external strength, Padgett invites
viewers to embrace the unknown with courage and optimism.
Each of these exhibitions offers a unique opportunity to engage with the transformative power of contemporary art.
