The City is excited to announce our upcoming art exhibition, “Color Therapy,” featuring the works of Sarah Louise Wilson at The MAIN in downtown Newhall. The exhibition will be on view from September 25 through October 30, with a special reception on October 19 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Sarah Louise Wilson’s display of creativity spans over three decades, showcasing paintings and drawings that delve deep into the human experience. Wilson’s artistic journey began at a young age, driven by an intrinsic need to express overwhelming emotions. From canvas to wood, playwriting to directing, she creates with a fervor that has persisted throughout her career. Painting and drawing, in particular, hold a special place in her heart, offering a solitary space of freedom for unfiltered thoughts to emerge.
For Wilson, art is rooted in self-care, a therapeutic outlet that transcends the act of creating something for public consumption. Her work emanates raw honesty, inviting viewers to explore the complexities of begin human, a safe haven where emotions, from rage to love and feaer, find expression without judgement. The current series Wilson explores delves into mental health, touching upon the experience of isolation and the challenges she faces daily. With a focus on texture, color, nature, and the human form, her siloed figures portray the journey of healing and understanding, making space for vivid colors that uplift the soul. She utilizes a wide array of mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, colored-pencil, pyrography, and resin, to create visually stunning pieces that reflect her unique definition of beauty – one that evokes feelings of joy and contentment.
The exhibition’s reception on October 19 coincides with Downtown Newhall’s SENSES Block Party, promising an evening filled with art, entertainment, and community engagement. The exhibition is on view during The Main’s operating hours.
