Find joy in all the beautiful things.

It is hard not to get wrapped up in the sad, ugly, or just plain frustrating things we face each day. Sometimes these things are important. Sometimes they require our action. Sometimes these things are just irksome and you feel bad for even letting them take up rent-free space in your head. While we can't solve the world's problems (or even many of YOUR problems), we can help you feel just a little bit better about them. This week, let us show you how we're trying to make that happen with beautiful things.

In the Gallery: Cecile Ganne

Walk through the front doors, bang a left and find yourself in a whole new world. 


From the artist:
Through her paintings, Cécile lends substance and form to the layers of memory that deposit in our minds, just as sediment shapes geological landforms. Her landscapes, whether imagined or re-imagined, invite us to dig deep into our well of memories, whether searching for our roots, seeking to belong, or transmitting our respect to future generations.

Working with oil, cold wax and multimedia, Cécile builds layers upon layers of color, sometimes scratching hues together, accentuating the raw quality of the canvas or wood encompassing that the enigmatic forms at the core of her paintings, sometimes called “earthly corals”: as grounded as trees, but as fluid as seaweed. Her paintings provide a window of distilled joy, vibrant hope and serenity.
Some have compared her paintings to the later work of Cézanne, who played with perspective by flattening his landscapes, distorting forms, imparting a vibrant sense of movement to his structures and inviting them to be viewed from multiple angles. Similarly, Cécile abolishes distance to invite the viewer to step into her landscapes through the colorful network of energy that unites the human experience in a single vision.
