Let Loose

Emma Hadzi Antich paints living symbols: the woman, the mountain, the column, the hand in isolation. They are rendered icon-flat but warm, still but breathing. In her mountain-scapes, fabric, grass, and limbs billow soft against jagged rock. In a small, round portrait, a flower blooms from an open mouth on a tender neck. In each work, her last, bright brushstrokes create hotspots of light on rock, petal, and human figure. Hadzi Antich works from a home studio, surrounded by family, goats, and books. Her paintings are dispatches of introspection—vivid, cerebral, and sensual—made in reverence to nature and as a plea from the alienated.

Numinosity

Over the last year Christos Pathiakis photographed locations where people perceived a joining of worlds — liminal, sacred sites that inspire fear, wonder, and reverence. In Greece he explored caves on the slopes of Mt Parnassus, sanctuaries on the holy island of Delos, and mines on the Cycladic island of Serifos. He  traveled to the Yucatán, into the wilds along the Ruta Puuc, to photograph unrestored Maya sites. The work was perilous and physically arduous. In Greece he descended rock slopes on a broken foot, while in Mexico he often required guides and machetes to hike miles into the jungle.

Off-site artworks

In an overgrown lot near a cul de sac off Springdale, Hadzi Antich buries a disembodied hand in a live animal cage trap trap, and bricks it in like the walled gardens of her painting. Deep in the Barton Creek Greenbelt, Pathiakis honors a place that shares a transformational presence.

Maps to each outside location will be available in the gallery.

GOING DOWN delves passage to counter places and underworlds. In painting, photography, sculpture, taxidermy, and games the artists seek to rebalance the spirit and the flesh; to synthesize myth and experience.
