INTIMATE SPACES —
MICHAEL KESSLER & MICHAEL MOON
November 3–29, 2010

An exhibition with new paintings by Michael Kessler from Santa Fe and Michael Moon from Los Angeles. Both artists draw the inspiration for their work from intimate spaces.

Kessler, fascinated by the serene landscape — an open desert, a lone beach, or a silent forest — translates such impressions into abstract works taking forms and shapes from nature, also their colors, often obscuring deeper parts in grid-like patterns. These paintings are like metaphors reminding us of the patchwork of modern civilization that continuously takes over, covering open natural spaces, piece by piece.

Michael Moon, on the other side, deeply explores the world of the natural inner space and soul in a quest for expressive calmness and tranquility. His paintings — in a unique artistic style — reflect in abstract images the pathways through time and life.
