Welcome to SYNC GALLERY

Abstract art creates “an expressive symbol” that is grasped in an act of “intuition” that has a
“single and unmysterious meaning.” Elvi Bjorkquist's artwork is non-discursive and denotes not
facts but expresses the forms of feeling and forms of meaning that are not able to be
objectified in discursive terms and are not “sayable.” Her artwork invites the viewer into a
constructed fictional space that encourages them to interact with the composition in a way that
is unique to them.
 

Elvi's works are symbols and a study of feeling. This offers the ability to place multiple
layers of transparent colors giving her a greater range of interesting colors and results in a
greater depth to the piece. She uses suggestive and expressive marks in a more thoughtful
and conscious ways to allude to aspects of the natural environment and a connection to the
earth. Elvi creates layers of colors and marks, using intuition to guide her deeper into a
presentation of her feelings until the visual elements command attention. This show captures
the emotion of the moment of creation and offers, through an open personal gaze, a free
interpretation of the stories behind the works and invites the viewer into the emotional
subconscious of the artists.
 

Experimentation fuels Johanna Morrell's impulse to create, opening doors to discovery and
delight. The layered energy and movement in Johanna’s Plexiglas paintings perfectly
suggests something chaotic yet interconnected, sometimes even internal thoughts, all rising
together. There is a visual dialogue between a layer painted on the Plexiglas and the layer
painted on the birchwood panel below it, forming traces of movement and thought as you
pass in front of each one.
