| Teresa Mucha James (Gallery Two) |
|  |
Have you ever felt that there was a realm utterly real, yet indiscernible by human perception? This is the territory explored by Teresa Mucha James in her latest solo exhibition at Aron Packer Gallery. In these large and medium-scale drawings, James fuses numerous influences (folk art, Victoriana, and Renaissance painting, and succeeds in lending her subjects an air of peace and serenity. This calm is a result of an unseen reality where its subjects hover somewhere between heaven and earth. Natural images such as flowers and other intricately depicted plants intertwine with the imagery and become a reminder of our life here on earth. While James has begun using color and larger sizes for this new series, she still draws from her past work by depicting wings and iconic hands. These images remain her staple and speak of supernatural activity, caring, and angels on earth.
