"Dance of the Hours" by Ruth Ilg |
Asheville
Gallery of Art’s October show, “Meditazioni,” will feature new work by
Ruth Ilg. The artist is known for her vibrant acrylic abstract paintings,
delicate watercolor botanicals, miniature oil landscapes, and for her
innovative encaustic work. Ms. Ilg states, “On this meditative journey of
color, form, and texture, I experimented with transforming elusive moments into
visual expressions. I encourage viewers to regard my personal meditations as an
invitation to give a voice to their own momenti elusivi.”
A native of Germany, Ms. Ilg is an award-winning artist,
photographer, and trilingual poet. She has studied with
renowned artists in Europe and in the US, resulting in a continuing strong
desire to work within a wide spectrum of techniques, styles, media, and
themes.
Ms.
Ilg has won numerous awards for her creative work, which can be found in
private and corporate collections around the world. The artist resides and
works at Biltmore Lake, North Carolina, and at Lake Constance, Germany.
Regionally, she shows her work at the Asheville Gallery of Art and at the Miya
Gallery in Weaverville, North Carolina.
“Meditazioni”
runs from October 1 through 31. The public is cordially invited to a reception
on Friday, October 7, from 5 to 8 p.m. Ms. Ilg’s work and that of the other 30
gallery members will be on display and for sale through the month during
regular hours, Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and
Sunday 1 to 4 p.m. The gallery is located at 82 Patton Avenue in
Asheville, across from Pritchard Park.
November will feature encaustic artist Michelle
Hamilton. Her use of the hot wax technique with mixed media creates imaginative
scenes that often include fantasy figures for work that is both whimsical and
provocative.
