Penumbra: The space between Light & Dark

This is a group exhibition featuring works by Jullianne French, Masha Sardari, and Debra Mixon Holliday. The three artists span a vast range of mediums specifically photography, monochrome transfers, and print making. The exhibition promises to be deeply emotional and meditative. The works come together as they explore humanity, nature, and architecture.

The three artists share much in common from Gothic influences to visceral subject matter. Each woman interprets the concept of time through her own lens but the messages are similar. The art exists on the fringe, not quite there but not quite here. The tensions are apparent in the emotional and coloristic explosions. The images are not unfocused but strategically concentrated on fragments of time, space, and memory. The trio comes together in such a graceful body that one could not imagine a more perfect union.

The exhibition will be free and open to the public at the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach with the opening reception on October 6, 2017 from 6 – 8pm. The reception will offer art enthusiasts and collectors an opportunity to purchase original work, meet the artists and enjoy live music by Eva Ullmann. A concurrent exhibition of works by local artists’ group JCVA (Jacksonville Coalition of Visual Artists) will also open on Oct. 6 in the Scene Gallery. The works from each exhibition will be available for viewing and purchase until November 3, 2017.
