Mobiles
February 16 - April 14, 2024
Elliott Templeton Fine Arts is delighted to announce a solo exhibition of glass mobiles by the British artist Julia Condon. These mystical works reflect the cosmos and the natural world, as the multicolored orbs transform light in their delicate, web-like array.
The individual elements of the mobiles originate widely: hand-blown glass commissioned by the artist, found glass from India and Mexico, vintage chandelier beads, and rock crystals. Condon also hand-paints a selection of these objects. She constructs each piece through an instinctive process, intricately weighting the mobiles’ elements across a network of wire, guided by the energy of the moment. They move in a soft, mesmeric rotation that is intended to transport the viewer to a higher realm of consciousness. For Condon, the works’ central importance lies in their physical display of balance, which translates into a spiritual experience.
Additionally on view is a selection of five paintings by Condon from her Mandala series. For the artist, the mandalas hold spiritual significance through their healing properties. She renders them through a gradual and meticulous process, building up between fifty and eighty layers of glaze. The result is a visual complexity that entrances the viewer and aims toward inner transformation.
In the salon room, works on display include a series of photographs by Doug Inglish; paintings by Lucky DeBellevue, Brianna Lance, and Keith Mayerson; and sculptures by Jonathan Cross.
