Come out to The Hidden Lantern Gallery at Rosemary Beach for complimentary drinks, conversation, music, and our favorite muse—art. The Hidden Lantern Gallery presents its second show in Rosemary Beach, Along 30A, featuring work by artists DeAnna Backel and Lauren Carvalho. The exhibition is on view from July 4 – August 6, with an Artist Reception on the evening of July 7 from 5:00pm – 7:00pm.
It is the first time that Backel and Carvalho have exhibited together, and this selection offers the viewer with two contrasting takes of 30A— townscape and landscape.
Backel’s oils are visual plays of color. The palette is striking, comprised of rich earth tones that retain their saturation against the Southern sun. White facades are set against ultramarine skies, and painterly swaths of poppy red punctuate the paintings’ surfaces. Backel’s repertoire is routed in the en-plein air tradition of the Impressionists, whose images of seaside resorts were painted out of doors. Like snapshots, there is a spontaneity, an impression caught in Backel’s compositions that evokes the excitement of exploring a new place.
Carvalho, too, draws upon 30A but in an entirely different manner. It is the local landscape, along 30A’s seaside towns, where the artist sources her materials— leaves, palm bark and pine cones, selected for the right textural qualities and color shifts for her oceanic sculptures. Fixed with an adhesive, these works of art are suspended in a balance between creation and decomposition. Using the disregarded, these nuanced assemblages give new purpose to the materials. Carvalho states: “The pieces come together like a puzzle. Effortlessly, a creature emerges from the materials.”
ABOUT THE HIDDEN LANTERN GALLERY
Established in 2010, The Hidden Lantern Gallery is committed to the visibility of local and regional emerging artists. Exhibitions feature works of art in various media, with prominence given to painting and sculpture, but where traditional materials are utilized in unconventional ways.
