and
Andrew Hem
new paintings

Opens Friday Feb 13th 2009 6-9pm
artists in attendance

Roq la Rue is pleased to present two solo shows for the month of February. Both artists deal with feeling isolated whether alone or in a broader cultural sense. Andrew Hem’s paintings depict young, waif like women who seem to cull an inner strength from within themselves. They are surrounded by imaginary creatures, both animals as well as more mythological type spirits that seem to dwell in the cathedral settings over shadowing the main subjects. Stella Hultberg’s art nouveau inspired sylphs are more more fluid and melancholy in this show. This show is based on Stella’s exploration of the fragility of human emotions, and the point where emotions can either break or become stronger.
