We love the haunting and visually stunning work of WaxenVine, the collective vision of husband and wife team, photographer Scott Irvine and artist Kim Meinelt. Featuring the overlap of the mundane and the romantic, the result is work that is simultaneously beautiful and unsettling, such as this piece, “encapsulated”, in which the floral overlay gives the impression of broken glass. TORN will be on view until January 18th, so come out and see these works in person before they are gone!

WAXenVINE is the collective vision of husband and wife team, photographer Scott Irvine and artist Kim Meinelt. WAXenVINE seeks the unusual within the mundane and beauty in unexpected places by layering and blending multiple images together, resulting in a hauntingly poetic dreamscape that transcends reality and the singular imagery. The result is a simultaneously romantic and unsettling experience. Their exhibition, “Torn”, will be on view at the Gallery until January 18th.

“Magnolia in Repose” is one of the stunning works featured in John Grant’s “Attraction” exhibition. While many of his works feature botanicals at full bloom, Grant also reminds us of their decay- and likewise, the fragility of beauty. “Attraction” will be on view until January 18th.
