Скачать или смотреть Inka Essenhigh "Comet Dust & Chrystal Shards" at JACOB LEWIS GALLERY

James Kalm saunters in to the new Jacob Lewis Gallery just after closing time and is so impressed with Inka's latest show that he whips out the camera to capture video just before they locked the doors. Differing from her previous outings by the employment of paper as support, and the use of large diptychs and triptychs, this display deepens the artists narrative depicting mythical and fantasy spirits. Using a "whiplash" line reminiscent of Art Nouveau Essenhigh composes vast scenes that hint at a hidden world of fairies, forest gnomes, and enchanted beings of all kinds. While the work might recall the romantic illustrations from 19th century children's books, they also contain references to today's "back to nature" trends and a wealth of abstract design.
