In a marriage of mediums, Roos and Agati capture moments in time in a way they describe as ‘reverent.’ Through sculpted gestures and painted essence, both use the body to explore layered human experiences.
With a deep appreciation for form, Joe Agati sculpts the body and adds contrasting paint, texture, and planes to highlight the beauty of shapes in three dimensions. Playing with negative space, Joe’s layers create an optical illusion of dancing planes. When one walks around the sculpture, parts appear and disappear.
Through a kaleidoscope of colors and layers, Rashelle Roos’ paintings delve into the search for the metaphysical connection between the body and experience. From ethereal, natural patterns that evoke a sense of transcendence to intimate silhouettes that reveal personal investigation, each painting offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human experience. Using her art therapist experience, Roos uses painting to understand her life and manifest joy and wonder.
