ALL COLORS MAKE ME HAPPYLola Baltzell • Deborah Peeples • Ruth Sack
Tuesday, October 15 - Saturday, November 2, 2024
Opening Reception Thursday, October 17, 2024 5-8pm
Atlantic Gallery is thrilled to present "All Colors Make Me Happy," featuring the works of Lola Baltzell, Deborah Peeples and Ruth Sack. These artists are united by their exuberant embrace of color and expression across their diverse practices. Lola Baltzell's creative process begins with spontaneous scribbles and words, ingeniously transforming them into powerful abstract images that evoke emotion and movement through color, revealing deeper narratives of personal and communal experiences. Deborah Peeples adds a structured dimension to the exhibit with her geometric abstractions. Her paintings share a grid structure and semiotic language, forming a narrative where circles act as distinct characters. Peeples’ art mirrors her exploration of identity and pursuit of belonging while reflecting the interplay between vulnerability and resilience. Ruth Sack contributes a playful energy to the exhibition with her sculptures, crafted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each anthropomorphic figure is layered with color and meaning, exuding quirkiness and fun, encouraging a joyful interaction, and reminding viewers of the lightness and humor that art can inspire. Collectively, the works of Baltzell, Peeples, and Sack embody a vibrant and dynamic exploration of color, joyfulness, and movement, inviting viewers to engage with the uplifting spirit of the show.
Lola Baltzell is a self-taught mixed media artist. She was born and raised in rural northwest Iowa. She spent a lot of time with her Russian grandfather who ran a junk yard on the wrong side of the tracks. She embraces random finds and use of non-traditional materials - ephemera and found objects.
Deborah Peeples is an abstract painter who was born in Brooklyn and lives in Cambridge, MA. She holds a BFA from Washington University School of Fine Arts. Her work has been exhibited widely and can be found in collections across the US and abroad.
Ruth Sack is an artist born in Brooklyn, NY who lives and works in Cheshire, CT. She studied at the New York Studio School and received an MFA from CUNY Queens College. Her work is exhibited and in collections in New York and throughout New England.
