 Paul LaJeunesse
Rhythms of Structure and Space
Paul LaJeunesse is a realist landscape painter whose work deals with symbiotic relationships of light, space and structure. He attempts to create, in his viewers, the sensation of being present in the space of the imagery. This body of work of the Icelandic landscape brings to focus patterns and quality of light found throughout the multifarious elements of the landscape to create an underlying structural unity.

 Two Exhibits:
Phable Omsri & Morgan Botello
This month HeartSong will be presenting two phenomenal young artists
- Phable Omsri who's artwork integrates the Sacred Concepts of Heaven, Earth, Life, and The Hereafter in his beautiful ceremonial artwork. By studying the work, one can comprehend the Archangels. This artwork portrays Phable’s belief that “We are all one.” One people, one blood, one world which supports us all, and one collective Source which we all have in common : The Divine Father and Mother of All Creation.
-
Along with Phable's art, we will have Morgan Botello's surrealistic and dreamy paintings of lips. This series entitled "Read My Lips" encourages the veiwer to think about the many ways to say things and the different stories that are told by our lips.
