This show is about using paint and space to find a quiet inner space. It's about dialog between the artist and nature. Seeking a path that fulfills both an artistic need and spiritual journey that connects harmoniously with something bigger than ourselves.
 
Joseph Kabriel, artist / teacher, has show extensively in juried shows through out the mid-Atlantic region since 1989. He has created a series of paintings of rocks. They are, for him, a perception of time as a natural force. His compositions are of a plunging perspective, without a vanishing point, creating a shallow space of lively interactive shapes and colors.
 
" Spiritually, some believe that rocks contain truths and under the right conditions these truths can be set free, providing personal enlightenment. Natural forces shape not only rocks but us too. And like stones on a beach, we harbor this energy until one day when we may choose to release these truths."
 
A simple subject, rocks, have an appeal in their size, weight color shape  texture  or as a tool or building material.
