in the upper gallery
“Liberation” is an extraordinary art exhibition featuring the works of acclaimed artist E.Lizé. This highly anticipated display, which is Act II of The Soft Girl Era Art Series, invites viewers to embark on a profound journey exploring the duality of growth and the liberation of self from childhood expectations, as seen through the eyes of a black woman.
“Liberation” showcases E.Lizé’s exceptional talent in paintings that capture the complexities of personal transformation and the power of breaking free from societal constraints. Through her evocative pieces, E.Lizé delves into the depths of the human experience, shedding light on the struggles and triumphs of embracing one’s true self.
“Swiftly Tilting Paintings” by Jo Redbird:
An exhibit of Cosmic Love.
curated by Andy Vible
in the lower gallery
Jo Redbird was born in New Zealand and spent her early childhood frequenting Barbados where a side of her lineage derives from. Her immediate family would eventually settle in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The early exposure to island life, coupled with the proximity to Amish culture, inspires Jo Redbird’s unique perspective on art.
Jo Redbird’s palette of vivid colors jump off of the canvas and scream. The empowerment of women and the spiritual experience of motherhood can be seen in her works. A connection to nature from a life of travel is felt throughout her paintings.
