From Laura Rathe Fine Art:
“Garden Party brings to life the whimsical and dreamlike qualities of a midsummer night’s dream, immersing guests in a vibrant celebration of nature through the diverse interpretations of three talented artists.
Mandy Racine captures the delicate and ephemeral beauty of nature in her intricate compositions. Painting in an expressive way, Racine explores abstract elements within her figurative/abstract subjects and the spaces in between. Her meticulous attention to detail and use of soft, harmonious colors evoke the lushness and serenity of a blooming garden, offering viewers a sense of tranquility and enchantment. Racine’s work also celebrates the human connection to nature, depicting whimsical scenes of people enjoying these idyllic natural settings.
Bronson Shonk introduces a new series of glass sculptures that seamlessly blend organic forms with industrial materials. Exhibiting his glass works at LRFA for the first time, Shonk’s pieces are visual representations of growth and a study of the cyclical nature of change. Each sculpture features intricate floral patterns and nature-inspired designs encased in glass, creating a stunning visual interplay between fragility and strength. These sculptures evoke the magic and mystery of a midsummer night’s dream, transporting viewers to a fantastical world where nature and art collide.
Audra Weaser’s abstract landscapes are a dynamic exploration of natural elements, blending fluid brushstrokes and a rich color palette to depict the mesmerizing movements of water, sky, and earth. Her works invite viewers to lose themselves in a dreamlike state, capturing the essence of nature’s ever-changing beauty, particularly in seascapes.”
