We are incredibly excited for the return of our featured artist, Alicia LaChance
For her most recent exhibition, Walking City at Houska Gallery, LaChance explores bold graphic works that create these inventions of landscapes and meditations. Never wavering from her use of material, color, and process to engage the viewer with emotionality from this alchemy.
La Chance’s work is in the collections of the Google Headquarters NYC, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, and The Londoner Macau. These projects were led by David Beckham’s design team. Commissioned by the Glazer family (owners of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Manchester United) to create a complete body of work for their hotel, The Vinoy. Work has also been placed at The Vanderberg Space Force Base, the base for NASA and Space X, and The Mayo Clinic, among many other collectors worldwide.
Houska Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of all new work by artist Kurt Herrmann. “Crispy Clouds is my new show of Color Bombs at Houska Gallery. The Color Bombs have always been about speaking the language of color. But this new series pushes into territory that is more atmospheric while still grounded and guided by shape and color. The title, Crispy Clouds, hints at this evolution by straddling the boundary between space and edge. I’m interested in the aura or glow that can play against the structural scaffolding that loosely holds the composition in place. There is also an iconography emerging in some of the works. Often these shapes reference the landscape, or something anthropomorphic. But ultimately it is simply about the color and how it can generate pure emotion with no reference to anything other than the feeling itself. In describing my work I am always drawn back to music, and more specifically jazz. Nobody asks what a Charlie Parker solo on the saxophone means. You either feel it, or you don’t”.
