Artists, teachers, and studio owners Danuta Rothschild and Janis Clary O heard the call for help!  The world was falling back into a quagmire-state and what could they do? Both understood that people need to “Feel The Love”. They invited 36 artists who ended up building what they affectionately call “The Wall Of Love”. As each artist dropped off their artwork, Danuta recorded each one describing what “love” means to them. (Visit their Facebook page to see the responses – you’ll be surprised by some)!  The public is invited to the Opening Reception on Saturday, January 29, mingling with the artists, enjoying wine and refreshments, plus live music with Amie Kroll, Jim van Voorheis, Bill Shine, and Joe Colombo. The show continues until February 19, 2022.  The Rickie Report shares the details and some sneak peeks! Art lovers have already stopped by to add some of these pieces to their collections! You can, too!

“The Wall of Love”

 

 

Danuta Rothschild and Janis Clary O told The Rickie Report, “When we conceived this idea, “The Feel of Love”, we wanted to extend an invitation to share the healing power of love through the artists’ expression.  Love is in solitude…in sharing…in nature…and it can HEAL the human heart.  Indeed, the gentle breeze, a whisper, and touch of LOVE has the POWER to heal the world.  The response to this exhibit is beyond our expectations!  Forty artists expressing their thoughts of love on canvas and sharing their extraordinary gifts”.

Thirty-six artists created 42 pieces of original artwork using mixed media, beads, acrylic painting, hand made glass, fine art photography, and oil painting.  Some of the intriguing titles include “I Woof You”, “Heart of Gold”, “Te Adoro”, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”, “Together”, “You Do You”, “The Embrace”, “Joy”….and more to bring YOU joy!  You have to see these in person to appreciate the artistry and FEEL the LOVE!

The scope of Danuta’s artistry is diverse and provocative, as they weave an historical tapestry, including her own take on the Masters.  An artist of considerable stature, Danuta created several series of paintings covering a wide range of subjects.  In her “Art About Art” series, she portrays her favorite painters (Cezanne, Picasso, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Modigliani) combining portraits with elements of their well-known works.  Half homage, half subtle mischief, these whimsical paintings reveal more about Danuta to the viewer.  

 

 

 

Artwork by Danuta Rothschild 

 

Danuta’s art provides a sense of social commentary about relevant issues, both spiritual and profound.  It is rare to see the intensity of emotion, scope of subject matter, and true understanding of the human psyche and spirit as she sees it.  Danuta can take soul-wrenching subjects and make them palatable and magical, while allowing us to ask the pertinent questions that moves us to go deeper within ourselves, revealing new understandings.
