Art and Emotion: The Transformative Journey of Artist Fernando Porras

You might call it lore, or a fish story, but so it goes that, once upon a time, a writer and a painter teamed up on a quest to find a magic door. While living in a small town in the mountains of North Carolina—a beautiful little town that once was home to many toymakers and woodcarvers —their (already rather unusual) lives were upended by a curious discovery: a tattered old journal lying at the bottom of a dusty, wooden box in one of the many antique shops in the area.

Meeting a Beautiful Dreamer: Artist Jeffrey Wilcox Paclipan

 Meeting a Beautiful Dreamer: Artist Jeffrey Wilcox Paclipan

While hosting a reception at Gallery AiA, I was approached by a friend and was told that I must meet a local artist by the name of Jeffrey Wilcox Paclipan who happened to be attending that night. This is a situation that springs up at most of the receptions, and I have met some wonderful artists in just that way. My first instinct is to always ask what kind of work the artist creates. In this case my friend told me that he works with puzzle pieces to create sculptures. I will have to admit, I was hesitant as I am not a huge fan of art that is based around a gimmick. I had fears of celebrity portraits created with string, spinning paint cans, and all the other works that just simply look fun on Instagram but lacking actual content and creativity.

From July 6th, 2022, to January 22nd, 2023, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris will celebrate the bold and exciting creations of Italian couturière Elsa Schiaparelli who drew much of her inspiration from her close ties to the Parisian avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s. Nearly 20 years since the last retrospective devoted to Schiaparelli at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the time has come to revisit this extraordinary designer's work, her innovative sense of feminine style, her sophisticated, often eccentric designs, and the thrill that she brought to the world of fashion.
