New Canaan, CT — Jean Jacobs Gallery is pleased to present Aesther Chang’s Solo Exhibition of original oil paintings titled “Meditations”. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, February 5, 2022 from 6pm-9pm at the Jean Jacobs Gallery.

Aesther Chang’s Meditations, an exhibition of her recent works exploring the power of transcendental abstraction. This is the gallery’s first show of this eloquent artist whose work explores the intrinsic relationship between her material-based process and the artist’s ability to distill the variable human spirit. Chang’s paintings are the result of her unique combination of paint and mixed media effects, taking her viewer to imagined landscapes defined by her experience and perception.

Her paintings express how the vitality of an engaged life is juxtaposed to the alternative of loss and decay. It is a simultaneous experience offered up by this young talent, one conceived in the crucible of Chang’s mind and delivered poetically at the end of her brush. Interplaying hues bounce between the deep recesses of her sublimely illuminated backgrounds and the bravado of her foreground marks. Chang’s articulated serenity is an invitation to join the artist in her meditative process, finding a destination where the body and mind converge in a synthesis of both external observation and internal thought.

We welcome all ages to join our Opening Reception and look forward to seeing you there!
