GUO HAI-JIANG

Hai-Jiang’s oil paintings explore a nexus point between traditional Eastern landscapes and sublime Western traditions. His artistic expression seeks truth in tranquility and depth in simplicity. Sweeping, angular brushwork manifests a particular untamed vitality that is inherent to the natural wilderness and characteristic of the far-reaching and expansive spirit of Chinese art.

CARL GOMBERT

Carl Gombert perfectly balances form and symbol using geometry, patterns, and shapes. His art is reminiscent of Indian Mandalas and Native American quilting, focusing on the meditative quality of repetition. Using shapes such as circles and squares, he arranges them into a mathematical relationship that creates the feeling of sacred space. The recurrence of simple elements produces a rhythm, connecting the spiritual with the earthly, the art with mathematics.
