Duval Square’s Jag Gallery announces its first exhibit of the new year welcoming two widely recognized and respected Key West artists Tory Mata and Carole Faye each with impressive collections of new work.
Working primarily in ceramic, paper and natural materials, award winning Tory Mata’s practice is rooted in quiet observations and repetition. New and recent work drawing from the visual language of landscape but without direct representation, distilling place into texture rhythm and form incorporating clay, wild grasses, handmade paper and other elemental materials to magical effect.
Carole Faye is a self described scavenger and regardless of where she has lived; New York City, Shanghai or Key West her adventures in foraging have led to expressive creations of found objects and mesmerizing and evocative mixed media paintings inspired by the local landscape and its inhabitants incorporating oil paints and fragments of local quotidian marketing materials.
Join us for the opening of FROM HER STUDIO and celebrate Jag’s sixth year at a gallery reception on Wednesday January 7th from 3:30 - 7:30. The exhibit continues through January 25th. Gallery events are free and all are welcome.
