Sigh… I wish you could go for hikes inside paintings. This is the work of Hudson NY based artist Gabe Brown. Her work {both on panel and paper} creates worlds that are colorful, mythical, and just plain magical… speaking of magic:

“Art is like magic, an illusion created by the force of humanity. Our choices in life can be amazing portals for adventure.”

Brown’s paintings create a secret recipe for an inner landscape of the human condition, narrative vignettes that are both alluring and mysterious. Nature and those elements existing in its microcosm become metaphors for a strange and at times super reality, a parallel universe that questions the natural scheme of life itself. Using a visual vocabulary derived from a world that often goes unnoticed, Brown begins to reinvent reality.

See? Don’t you want to go for a walk in there now!? Gabe’s work is available through Kenise Barnes Fine Art, CT.
