Abend Gallery Presents 'Wild at Art: A Four-person Animal-inspired Exhibition'



Abend Gallery invites the art-loving public to experience the captivating exploration of the animal kingdom in its newest exhibition, 'Wild at Art: A Four-person Animal-inspired Exhibition'. This unique showcase, featuring artists Morgan Cameron, Marina Dieul, Claudia Griesbach-Martucci, and Lucia Heffernan, will open with a reception on June 2 from 4 - 6 PM and run through June 27 at 1261 Delaware St., Denver, CO 80204.



The exhibition offers visitors a captivating exploration of the profound connections between humans and the Animal kingdom. These talented artists each bring their unique perspectives to create compelling artworks, drawing inspiration from personal experiences, deep respect for animal life, and a desire to evoke a sense of connection and curiosity among viewers.



About the Artists



Claudia Griesbach-Martucci's artwork aims to celebrate the magical roles that animals play in our world. Her piece, “Lust for Life,” inspired by a trip to Bordeaux's countryside and folklore, combines morbid extravagance with a cheeky twist.



Morgan Cameron introduces a new direction in her art through her dark-fantasy styled piece “Moths’ Delight.” A white rabbit adorned with white moths, this piece hints at something curious and even supernatural happening in their relationship, signaling a shift towards a darker style of art.



Marina Dieul showcases her meticulous trompe-l'oeil style, offering us works like "Chaton 38," a piece that represents an endless source of inspiration for the artist: cats. "Some of us are deeply bewitched by cats, and such a young kitten represents a promise of lifelong wonders and tenderness." - Marina Dieul



Lucia Heffernan's piece "Dancing Chicks" captures the humor and relatability of animal behavior through whimsical portrayals of chicks performing contemporary dance moves. Inspired by her own love for dancing, Heffernan infuses the artwork with nostalgia and joy, reminiscing about the excitement of a night out dancing with friends. By highlighting the shared characteristics between humans and animals, she aims to create narratives that resonate with viewers.



Each artist in the exhibition has developed a strong bond with animals, and their passion is palpable in their work. Their paintings aim to inspire viewers to appreciate the complex personalities of animals and their important place in our world.



Abend Gallery, located in Denver's Golden Triangle Museum District, is proud to host "Wild at Art: A Four-person Animal-inspired Exhibition." We invite you to join us for the opening reception or visit during the exhibition's run to witness these compelling interpretations of the animal world.
