Autumn Expressions
September 27 – December 18, 2024
Newhall Community Center, 22421 Market St, Newhall, CA 91321
The City of Santa Clarita announces, “Autumn Expressions,” a juried exhibition which will be on display from September 27 through December 18, 2024, at the Newhall Community Center. This exhibition features a diverse array of original artworks that capture the fleeting beauty and transformative power of the autumn season.
“Autumn Expressions” invites the community to explore the season’s unique influence on landscapes, cultures, and personal reflections. From the vibrant hues of changing leaves to the introspective mood brought by shorter days, each piece offers a distinct interpretation of autumn’s transient nature. The exhibition showcases works across various mediums, including acrylic on canvas, photography, and alcohol ink on synthetic paper, celebrating the season’s rich array.
Among the featured artists is Andrea Abler, whose piece, Shade of the Blackthorn, captures the melancholic beauty of autumn with deep yellows and reds. Inspired by folklore and the supernatural, Abler’s work delves into the darker elements of nature, leaving viewers with an emotional and introspective experience. Her piece invites the audience to bring their own stories to the canvas, much like the age-old folktales that inspire her series.
Photographer Simon Bowler Khan captures the majestic and mythical essence of the American landscape with Yosemite Autumn Fires, CA. Inspired by the timeless work of Ansel Adams, Khan’s photography delves into the awe-inspiring beauty of nature, providing a moment of serene reflection amidst the seasonal changes.
Katy Bishop explores the fluidity and unpredictability of nature in her abstract work, River Runs Thru It. Using alcohol ink on synthetic paper, Bishop’s expressive images embody the motion and emotion of life itself. Her art embraces the unpredictable, guiding the viewer through a journey of color, texture, and design that reflects the ever-changing landscape of autumn.
“Autumn Expressions” is not just an exhibition; it is an invitation to experience the profound impact of autumn through the eyes of talented artists. The Newhall Community Center provides the perfect backdrop for this seasonal celebration, offering visitors a space to reflect on the beauty of the fall and the diverse interpretations it inspires.
