Newmarket Millspace Gallery presents "Embracing Ephemeral,” showcasing the exceptional talents of artists Natasha Dikareva and Alex Leith. The artwork takes viewers on a transformative journey where the otherworldly beauty of clay and glass sculptures form a dialogue with vibrant energy-filled pastel and flashe landscapes. In collaborative pieces, the artists delve into the mystical world of Dryads, tree spirits with finite lives, juxtaposing their ephemeral existence with the everlasting beauty of nature. These captivating artworks invite viewers to contemplate the fragile yet resilient nature of all living beings.
Natasha Dikareva invites us into a world of patience and introspection through her clay and glass sculptures. These delicate creations capture the fleeting nature of time and guide viewers on a path of spiritual growth. In her work clouds symbolize the impermanence of life, birds represent the freedom and transcendence of existence, and dryads embody the enduring spirit of nature. The combination of glass and clay sculpture traces the line between reality and reverie, bringing to life exquisite, surreal, impossible creatures to evoke tranquility and transformation.
Alex Leith, experimental landscape artist, explores the dynamic interplay between texture, color, and mark-making. Under the concept of "Chronoluminarism," his works manifest as revelations of the spirit emanating from the landscape, capturing the complex energy and personal experience of a moment. Leith's drawings and paintings invite viewers to journey beyond the literal field of vision, unveiling the energy and aura of the world with which we interact.
In "Embracing Ephemeral," Natasha Dikareva and Alex Leith blend their artistic visions, creating a mesmerizing tapestry that transcends reality. This exhibition showcases their shared fascination with the delicate balance between the fleeting and the eternal.
