Peaceful Llama by Patrick Hobbie from his Sentience exhibition. KALEID Gallery is proud to present: Sentience by resident artist Patrick Hobbie “Sentience” is the capacity to feel, perceive, or experience subjectively. This definition goes hand in hand with something I’ve always considered to be a cornerstone of my work: To recreate energy in nature so that the viewer may connect on a deeper level. The sentience in these works not only exist in the animal subjects but are meant to be experienced by the viewer as well. This feeling of subjective perceptual experiences is the purpose of these works. Patrick Hobbie’s art is influenced by the light and dark. Form in chaos. Strength in vulnerability. This self-taught artist has no formal training but grew up in an artistic home. His mother, a painter, and his father, a professional photographer, taught him at an early age the techniques of their trades.…

Art work by Brittni Paul from her Shelter exhibition. KALEID Gallery is proud to present:Shelter by resident artist Brittni PaulShelter: to protect oneself from something harmful, like bad weather. This title was initially given to a piece I completed in October 2019 to describe a mother Pangolin protecting herself and her child in the shelter of a hollow tree trunk. This piece is meant to capture a moment in time where mother and baby are safe in their shelter, much like how we humans shelter-in-place with our loved ones. This exhibition focuses on endangered species sheltered in their homes, weathering out the storm that is extinction. As we sit in our homes contemplating a new way of life, let’s implement eco-friendly habits to protect what’s left of this earthly speck. What better time than now? Brittni Paul is an environmental activist, mix-media illustrator and muralist of flora, fauna and magic!…

Little did he know that eventually, his illustrations would lead to a career as an artist, astounding critics, gallery owners, his friends, and even himself.Ed drew these characters only as part of his post-stroke therapy and today sells originals and prints for prices he could never envision. In 2013, Ed’s “Bushers” image became a graphic novel and shortly thereafter his art career really began to flourish. Known as “outsider art” or “folk art,” Attanasio’s Post-It creations have sold online and through galleries in the U.S., UK, Canada, South America, Australia, Germany and Russia, just to name a few.

KALEID Gallery is proud to present: Wild Wire by resident artist Jonathan Kermit Opens first Friday October 2nd, 5pm–9pm Discarded twisted, rusty wire forms the basis of my current work. Working intuitively with a vague sense of plan, I coax and join bits of wire into anthropomorphic shapes, whimsical forms and dream like objects. I incorporate details on paper from other areas of interest which include drawing, collage, cyanotype and found images. I became a collector of urban flotsam at a very young age, picking up rusty bits and oddments that I would stash in small boxes. About a dozen years ago I started collecting rusty wire which turned into an obsession and eventually found its way into my artwork. As an ardent recycler, it gives me a certain sense of satisfaction being able to turn a small bit of landfill trash into something else. Exhibition dates: October 2–30, 2020Gallery…
