VIEW EVENT → OCT 28 OPENING RECEPTION: AIMEE JOYAUX, "MAYBE/SOMETIMES" Thursday, October 28, 2021 5:00 PM 8:00 PM 499 W Main St (map) Join us on Thursday, October 28 from 5-8 pm for the opening reception of our next exhibition featuring new work from Petersburg artist, Aimee Joyaux in her solo show, "Maybe/Sometimes." "These paintings were made in the time of covid and the uncomfortable confrontations with racism and climate change we are experiencing. Themes of impermanence and the associated anxiety stemming from displacement and the looming threats of extinction and erasure continue to haunt me and push my work conceptually. Bright colors and large shapes exist in conflict with the edges of the picture plane. The compositions are slightly off balance. Crowded and overlapping focal points fight for attention. But my surfaces, made possible because of the beauty of paint as a material, are intentionally luscious and worn. Because of the scale of this work, the surfaces can exist as distinct spaces and shapes compounding the compositional complexities of the images. I am trying to create something that is both beautiful and chaotic." Aimee Joyaux received her MFA in photography in 1995 and her BA in art in 1985 where she concentrated on drawing and painting. Her work has been exhibited in The National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Center for Book and Paper at Columbia College, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Center for Book Arts (NY), and Nexus Press in Atlanta. Examples of her work are held in the collections of The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, The Center for Book and Paper at Columbia College, Indiana University East, Penland School of Crafts, and locally at Dominion, Capital One, Altria, The Quirk Hotel, The Valentine, Candela Books and Gallery, and Try-Me. Joyaux has received funding support for her work in book arts and drawing from Culture Works, the VMFA, the Illinois Arts Council, and the Indiana Arts Commission. She is currently a full-time studio artist living and working in a renovated cotton warehouse in Petersburg with her husband Alain and hound dog Oliver. "Maybe/Sometimes" will be on view and online October 28, 2021 through January 16, 2022 in Quirk Charlottesville's Main Gallery.

In addition, Shaw will be offering customized skincare consultations and product development with more advanced ingredients for those that are looking to alleviate certain skincare concerns---a truly bespoke experience built with custom blends of Rebelle Naturelle products and a targeted skincare routine. Private consultations may be booked in advance (https://rebellenaturelle.com/pages/consultation) or in-person at this special event. Rebelle Naturelle began in 2016 as a way for creator, Mary "M Dot" Shaw, to develop naturally-derived products that didn't break the bank. Researching and sourcing the best ingredients including shea butter, avocado oil and coconut oil, Shaw discovered the best blend to create a body butter that served as the foundation for her future line. Maintaining an intentional and mindful practice with consideration for ethically sourced and organic ingredients, Shaw created more products for herself and developed her own regimen to help with skincare concerns she had for years (and for which she'd spent time and money on a variety of store-bought products). In 2018, Shaw began studying with the School of Natural Skincare UK, learning skincare formulation with a plant-derived focus. Today, Rebelle Naturelle consists of more than 20 unique products that are all vegan, cruelty-free, and sold in recyclable packaging. This is important not just for personal gratification but for the betterment of our planet.

The series unintentionally unfolded into a narrative, as if it had been waiting. I drew from the experience of past journeys to Assisi, Italy, and Eremo delle Carceri, his hermitage for contemplation. St. Francis is the Patron Saint of Animals and Nature. His life an immersion into that which is just, simple, and compassionate.

Each of the artists selected have played a major part in Quirk's development since the gallery first opened its doors on Broad Street in downtown Richmond in 2005. These exhibiting artists are like family to us and Quirk would not be what it is today without the contributions of these special people, among others. Family is what defines and shapes us. They watch us grow, fail, succeed. They teach us lessons. They lift us up, make us stronger, make us believe in ourselves. They see us develop, try new things, re-invent ourselves. They are always in our corner, cheering us on, no matter what. There comes a point in any new relationship, after things get serious, when the time feels right to introduce your family. So please stop by to see us, get to know our family, and say Hello There.

Join us for the opening reception of our next Pink Gallery show featuring the artwork of Charlotte-based artist and illustrator, Kristen Solecki. I have been collecting discarded photos for over a decade. Most are black and white from a time when standard film was expensive and snapshots were precious. Over the years, a large sub group has developed among my collection that is composed of women of all ages posing in a variety of fashions. What they wore told stories of their inner selves and provided a glimpse of how they wanted to be perceived. This work, inspired by the fashions in these rediscovered photographs, explores the women’s possible stories, and celebrates their choices. Kristen Solecki has taken her love of story and imagery to a career as an artist and illustrator. She creates work that centers around narratives tinged with nostalgia and small, meaningful moments. She uses gouache, ink, and collage on paper to engage the viewer through the tactile, genuine quality of each piece. Kristen Solecki studied illustration at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts and creates work for a wide variety of projects including illustrations for books, magazines, products, and gallery shows. Solecki exhibits her drawings and paintings around the country and regularly teaches workshops. Our opening reception with the artist will be held in the gallery on Thursday, January 16 from 5-8 pm.
