  • From the gallery: San Diego, California- Madison Gallery announces D I S T A N C E, French artist Cédrix Crespel’s first solo US exhibition. A stunning and ethereal representation of love in landscapes, of love in our surroundings, of love outside the physical beings. The use of bold, yet soft, colors, Crespel captures the desire and vulnerability of passion from afar. The feeling of endless depth, of dynamic distance, of eternal love and longing. “To face it, to get lost in it and to surrender to it. The landscape, with its magnificence, its ‘immensity,’ and its indifference, imposes its might and its power dynamics. The one who gazes upon it experiences a form of solitude, vulnerability, and inaccessibility: a state that, in many ways, resembles love. Painting the vaporization of love, the vibration that lack can generate, the projection of feelings. Painting emotions far beyond what can be seen. When we are both separated, our landscapes clash and represent the distance between us. From her to me, and vice versa. A form of landscape in love; showing what cannot normally be represented.” Cédrix Crespel Cédrix Crespel’s paintings are a true reflection of his life, a man whose notions of love and sensuality have been constantly questioned and deconstructed. By exploring different representations of femininity, the artist creates a deep connection between his own existence and his art. In his canvases, swirls, vapors, and veils of the visible conceal a secret figuration. It is through subtle details and palpable sensuality that Cédrix Crespel stages his wife Tiphaine, an undeniable presence since the beginning. His love and desire prefer to express themselves in intimacy and modesty. Thus, the artist freezes in his paintings the materiality of flesh and the vivid emotion that accompanies it, creating a dialogue of silence and subtleties. Since 2016, Cédrix Crespel has focused his work on the notion of “correspondence” and the creation of a “new Entity” generated by the couple in art. He thus offers a contemporary and introspective vision of the relationship between art and life, inviting the viewer to get lost in the layers of meaning and emotion in his work. Opening reception: 6-8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14 To attend the reception, RSVP to rebecca@madisongalleries.com Related links: Madison Gallery website | Instagram | Facebook

  • Waiting rooms act as physical objects of containment, an agent of transition, a boundary, or a threshold. Often these liminal spaces invite introspections into our mental, emotional, and physical worlds. What does it mean to care for something? Someone? Ourselves? Expressions of care—or the lack thereof—shape the world in which we live, a world that is often fraught with competing tensions and complexities. Waiting Room seeks to unpack matters of illness, suffering, and healing. Explored through a range of artistic interpretations and processes including metalwork, fiber art, ceramics, glass and woodworking, the works on view investigate how we express emotional resilience. How we bring our whole selves into the consulting room. Articulated through contemporary craft, the conversation advances the important role of art in communicating our inner states. When something is internal and then externalized into a form, it frees us and allows both our physical and intangible selves to ponder, act, and address. It facilitates deep engagement with sensitive subjects and provides a stimulus that influences understanding, liberation, and relief. Curated by Bonnie Domingos and featuring works by Warren Bakley, Charlotte Bird, Richard Burkett, Judith Christensen, Victoria Fu, Polly Jacobs Giacchina, Linda Litteral.
