The Magic Space Holiday Exhibit is over and Val Gal starts the Winter Exhibit.
Val Gal is not just a simple gallery. It is a gallery in a women's residence that emphasizes rest and inspiration. So all of the images are created to create a sense of calm and good feeling.
Last year the popular series of "Creative Muses" appeared on site. These magical muses start to appear in regular neighborhood scenes. They are created from the positive energy a busy neighborhood gives out when work is being done. When I introduced the Creative Muses I was banking on the tendency of the women in this residence to escape into the world of film, news, movies and fantasies. I imagined that they would love to meet some of the creatures that populate the popular film for example. (Like a runway model for example).
This week the winter exhibition heralds in a new kind of spirit of industry. These are "ghostly" apparitions that like the muses before them, visit the small neighborhood of which I live in. But these are not picture perfect in form at all. they are actually semi-abstract mixes of people and landscapes.
The new series of "inner city spirits" leave more to the imagination of the viewer and lets her finish the vision in her own way. They are semi-abstract and neither beautiful or ugly just fantastic. How you interpret their appearance is left to the imagination of the viewer. In this way I hope to attract people who are not necessarily impressed with physical beauty and the trappings of movie women. So these spirits are most ghostly, to attract the more esthetic of the viewers.
I invision the Corridor Studio of Val Gal as a pathway of good feeling. When a person goes down the hallway she feels a sense of inspiration and importance. By using scenes from the neighborhood and introducing larger than life figures, the pictures give a person sense of her/his own importance. The images are beautiful and not over-stimulating. They are flattering, not critical. The images of the Corridor Studio promote the idea of a residence as a place of peacefulness and calmness. Zt the same time the images are important to promote the idea of each and every persons own worth.
