Agnes Pelton | Agnes Lawrence Pelton (22 Aug 1881 - 13 Mar 1961) was a modernist painter who was born in Germany and moved to the United States as a child. She studied art in the United States and Europe. She made portraits of Pueblo Native Americans, desert landscapes and still lifes. Pelton's work evolved through at least three distinct themes: her early "Imaginative Paintings," art of the American Southwest people and landscape, and abstract art that reflected her spiritual beliefs. via Wikipedia

“The work of love is the work of presupposing the wish for awakening in the other. In the midst of all that two people must face and live through together, the work of love silently acknowledges in the other the wish to become free from illusion, fear, egoism, false imagination, self-deception, tension, and violence; free from the power of life itself to devour our inner possibilities. The work of love, intermediate love, presupposes not only the wish to be free from these perennial weaknesses of the human condition — but to be free for contact with another quality of being in oneself, a conscious energy that is meant to penetrate the mind, heart, and body of every human being.” -A Little Book On Love Jacob Needleman

Jumaadi at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, Charleston SC

Here’s a photo I took from one of our final rehearsals. Working so closely with Jumaadi, Geoff, and other talented souls has made me feel very inspired and grateful over the past few weeks.

Come to the Jumaadi + Picasso (yes, that Picasso :) ) exhibit at the Halsey. Opens today, Friday, October 17th, and on view through December 6, 2014.

Jumaadi (born 1973) moved from East Java, Indonesia to Sydney in 1997 to study at the National Art School. He graduated in 2000 with a Bachelor of Fine Art, and then again in 2008 with a Master of Fine Art. Before immigrating to Australia, from 1994 to 1995, Jumaadi was an Art Educator at the PPLH Environmental Education Centre in Seloliman, East Java (Indonesia).

Jumaadi creates works inspired by mythological and secular narratives.
