THE ART OF LETTING GO | May 3 - 31, 2025| Atlantic Works Gallery

For its May exhibition the Atlantic Works Gallery (AWG) invites the public to The Art of Letting Go showing work by two AWG artists Elsa Campbell and Daniel Gaviani. Letting go is not about losing it’s about release. It’s the moment you exhale after holding your breath for too long. It’s the acceptance that change is natural and that chaos can be art.

Elsa Campbell’s series The Beautiful Unknown is a response to anxiety and fear of the unknown. A color palette based on nature offsets the intense and powerful marks providing visceral relief. The second series Seen and Unseen obliquely references landscape and language by alternating mark making and obliteration of marks to create layers that are revealed and obscured. 

Daniel Gaviani blends color and form in a way that is both deliberate and free. Faces shift perspectives blur and the paintings pick up their own personality. By letting go and accepting non-deliberate outcomes each painting became a practice of spontaneity and even more important acceptance.

The Art of Letting Go runs May 3 – 31 at the Atlantic Works Gallery 80 Border Street East Boston MA open 2:00-6:00 pm Fridays and Saturdays. The opening reception is on May 3 from 3:00-6:00 pm the Third Thursday reception is on May 15 from 6:00-9:00 pm and the closing reception is on May 31 from 3:00-6:00pm. For details visit atlanticworks.org.
