Welcome to our 2nd Angela King Gallery Newsletter!

Now is a pivotal time in American history. We are living through a pandemic. We are also living in a critical time where our past race relations, behaviors, and attitudes are being called into check and reevaluated. While most Americans are marking the birthday of the United States July 4th, 1776, many Black Americans will also have celebrated their independence the previous month, on Juneteenth, June 19th, 1865, Emancipation Day. Juneteenth recognizes a turning point in American history, Black emancipation in the United States after the Civil War. Juneteenth and the 4th of July are together the completion of the celebration of freedom in America.

It's a time of celebration but also a time of reflection and healing. We can use this day to reflect on all the changes we still need to make to create a more fair, just, and equal society.

—A. King

CHARLES THYSELL

CHARLES THYSELL who left our lives in May 2020 after a long battle with cancer, shared a body of work with me just a few weeks before he died that included 8 beautiful nudes. He painted them over several years and we are so pleased to have them to share with you. Here is a look at his evocative and sensual, simple and profound paintings of the female figure.

Nude 7/22/94, oil on paper, 48 x 60.

We have an exhibit planned for Anne Bachelier, November 14th, 2020 and depending on how life is going at that time, an opening exhibit will be announced. Her work will be here for you all to see.

Anne Bachelier has also been invited to be a contributing artist in a series Taschen is creating called The Library of Esoterica. She will be featured in the Astrology volume which is yet to come out. We'll keep you posted. Here is the collection of the Zodiac paintings she has recently created for her collector's acquisition. Enjoy.

Zodiac Pisces 2020, Oil on Linen, 35.5" x 35.5".

"If the zodiac is a music of the spheres, opening the way to the "Know yourself and you will know the universe and its Gods" then the score written by Anne Bachelier invites to this path of meditation whose royalty goes back to the dawn of time and which manifests the laws of cosmic wisdom."

STILL FEATURING

IN SEARCH OF ARCADIA

Marcin Owczarek

“ By using various symbols and depth of meaning intentionally, I want my art to be interpreted on many levels. Therefore you can also notice that there are many smaller images in one image I finish. This subtle meanings tells you – you can open as many doors as you want and interpret my collages day after day in different way. Possibilities are endless. ”
