These beautiful works by Elizabeth Weber are part of the August exhibit
at Justus Fine Art Gallery. (above) “Home.” below “Bundled.”
A selection of paintings and sculpture by Elizabeth Weber will be featured during the August exhibit at Justus Fine Art Gallery to be held August 7-29. Weber’s paintings employ a vibrant color palette with dramatic use of light and texture, while her sculptures use natural materials to create forms that seem to be crafted by nature itself.
One series of her sculptures suggests home and safety, while balanced on a bed of thorns. Her sculpture entitled Home, replicates a paper wasp nest but on a much larger scale (the sculpture is 5 feet wide). Other pieces are colorful adaptations of wasp pupae on actual wasp nests which are nestled on found pieces of wood. Elizabeth Weber’s paintings and sculptures have been included in many notable exhibits.
The August exhibit will also include work by Michael Ashley, Kristin DeGeorge, Robyn Horn, Tony Saladino, Sandra Sell, Gene Sparling, Emily Wood, and others. The show will open with a reception on Friday, August 7 from 5-8 p.m. Due to COVID-19 precautions, no refreshments will be served during the opening. Attendees are asked to wear masks and to maintain the recommended social distancing during the opening.
“I truly feel that I did not choose to be an artist. It is the thread that weaves the fabric of my life. I dream in full color and sound, I hear the trees speak of their memories in the form of song as they drop their leaves, and I recognize raw beauty even when it’s not pretty…Without art, there is no deep breathing, no peace.” – Elizabeth Weber
