Adele’s show, Folk Relics, explores the relationship between fine art, craft and storytelling.  Using mixed media techniques such as quilting, embroidery, gold leaf, ceramics and painting, she creates images and objects that could fit into many-a folktale or myth.  You might see a hero, an omen-bringer, a shape-shifter and so many other wild creatures that haunt our collective imagination.

Adele Hauser grew up in a world of craft.  Childhood adventures included driving around to look at old buildings with her architect father, learning to sew with her grandmother, sweltering archeological digs over summer vacations, and listening to her mother read vast collections of folk and hero stories at night before bed.  She honed her skills as an adult with a BFA in Fine Arts from the University of Texas, quilt collaborations with Mom, and work finishing and fabricating for interior designers. Behind the scenes there is always some personal art project in the works. This foundation, along with a lifetime of making as many different types of things as possible, laid the groundwork for a wide range of artistic pursuits.

Kelsey Archbold’s work explores the intersection of memory, nature and human emotion, often delving into the subconscious world where reality and fantasy blur. Inspired by the quiet mysteries of the natural world and the tender, yet complex, dynamics of human relationships, she creates dreamlike scenes that invite viewers to step into an introspective journey.

Cloud Tree Gallery is excited to present a new exhibition featuring works from two distinguished artists, sculptor John Christensen and painter Jana Swec.

     John Christensen's sculptures for this show focus on figure.The forms are simple, reductive, abstract. He animates each form with shape-shifting uncertainty - with breath. Full of psychic subtext and made to help navigate our often cruel and befuddling world, many of his pieces try to direct our attention to the unseen - microbiota, rhizomes, spirit - or the unrecognized. He describes his sculpture as informed by the natural sciences, metaphysics, literature, and history.

     Jana Swec’s work since 2020 has also helped her move through difficult times and emotions. with a purpose to observe, create and heal. “Skies can be hope, ecstasy or immense sadness. Portraying fire has helped process fear, passion, and anger. Painting the underwater fills me with a sense of vast possibilities, stillness, and calm. The nebulous form that floats and glides through the scene, has come to represent a spirit of lightness, changeability, & luminescence.

Show dates: September 22-October 14

Opening reception: September 22, 7-10 p.m (featuring Three Spells, a 20 minute performance piece  by Robin Chotzinoff and Malena Pennycook at 8p.m.)

Artist talk: October 7, 2 p.m.                            

“Offering: A Balm in a World of Wounds comprises 17 oil paintings, large and small. I began this body of work with “Offering”, a diptych - a pair of canvases over which I painted a composition of intuitive, free form, almost symmetry. Three more large diptychs followed. In the beginning I was thinking about the rhythms, patterns and geometries of the plant world–how nothing in nature is perfectly symmetrical, but that there are consistent patterns. Then I began to think about humans in nature, as part of nature, not supreme in nature, and also about the imperfect symmetry of human bodies. I became especially concerned with female bodies. This work concerns broken patterns: generational pain and subsequent healing; death, rebirth and regeneration; sacrifice, ceremony, and also, vulnerability, with all its complications.”

Longtime Austin painter and poet Philip Trussell brings his new work to Cloud Tree Gallery for his first show since 2019. For the last few years he has been accumulating hundreds of paintings in his Austin studio, and Cloud Tree is honored to bring this new work to the public.

Regularly cited by the Austin Chronicle in their top 10 arts lists, he has had paintings shown in the Austin Museum of Art, and has a multitude of collectors like his friend, filmmaker Richard Linklater who, at last count, owns around 40 of Trussell's paintings. 

“Amazingly talented and prolific … he generally only shows once a year — a self-imposed rule born of his distaste for art world politics. But please, please, whatever you do, try to catch his [show]. You'll find his works full of beauty, humor, and undeniable depth. If you meet him and you like each other, he'll invite you to his studio.” - Austin Chronicle

Also included will be a selection of works by Conner Strickland, a student of Philip’s.
