Art and Light Gallery to host ‘Natural Form’ exhibition

“Natural Form” will open June 2 at Art & Light Gallery in Greenville.

The exhibition, which features works by artists Allison James of Central, Georgia; Bethany Mabee of Peoria, Illinois; and Morgan Walker of Florence, South Carolina; will be on display virtually on the gallery’s website and in person at 16 Aiken St. in Greenville through June 27.

In “Natural Form,” the artists use abstraction to explore organic shapes and patterns found in nature. James finds inspiration for her abstract paintings in the messy, thrilling terrain of human experience and motherhood. Mabee is an abstract painter and textile designer who has spent over 20 years immersed in the interior design industry while simultaneously cultivating her painting and studio practice. Walker’s work reflects a personal relationship with control, rooted in her observations of life’s unpredictable nature. She drew inspiration from witnessing her late father’s frustrations with the loss of control over his penmanship due to Parkinson’s disease and her own struggles with mental health, as well as the broader realization that we truly control very little, said a news release from the gallery.

Art & Light Gallery will host an opening reception June 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. to celebrate the new collection. For more information, visit artandlightgallery.com.
