"Grove of enchantment"
MASH Gallery is pleased to present “Grove of Enchantment,” a solo exhibition by artist Haleh Mashian, an expressionist painter and founder of Mash gallery in West Hollywood. Grove of Enchantment is a fantasy inspired and imaginative take on the re-interpretation of Mashian’s Tree series. Mashian invites viewers to explore the forest of their dreams, while celebrating nature’s wisdom, strength and enduring beauty.
Mashian’s sculptural relief portrays colorful forests that are fully articulated and layered creating a visual phenomena that alternately appear in sharp relief or recede into the depth of landscape. She experimented with novel painting techniques and emphasized color, process, and materiality epitomizing the process of pure form emerging from raw material coalescing the ancient and modern in this series.
Drawing inspiration from the legendary artists Wolf Kahn and Anselm Kiefer, Mashian incorporates a stunning array of colors muted and vibrant each piece a unique creation yet harmoniously linked within the others from the collection. From deep alizarian red and burnt umber to shimmering hues of silver, gold blues and creamy whites, her work reflects the everchanging beauty of nature and the human experience.
Where the natural transcended world and artistic expression intertwine, this exhibition champions the beauty of our environment and emphasizes the importance of loving and prioritizing the land we live on In this immersive series, Mashian highlights the spiritual and emotional impact trees have on our lives, underscoring their role in mental health, and in soothing the human spirit
“I sense the palpable exchange of energy, a silent connection that transcends words with each stroke of my paintbrush and application of mixed media. A deep knowing that I can emulate the qualities of these magnificent beings into my own Psyche”
“As a painter devoted to capturing the essence of trees, I find myself endlessly inspired by their graceful presence, the interplay of light and shadow, the texture of their bark and their vibrant hues of foliage” “I seek to capture the resilience and strength that emanate from their silent presence, the whispers of their ancient secrets, reminding viewers of the inherent power within us all.”
Through this exhibition, Mashian aims to portray the beauty and importance of trees in our ecosystem, highlighting their role in combating climate change and preserving the ozone layer Additionally, she is dedicated to making a positive impact beyond the canvas Part of proceeds from the sales of her art are directed towards an environmental charity, ensuring that her work contributes directly to initiatives that address and mitigate these pressing environmental challenges
So come, wander through the canvas of her imagination, where the spirit of trees dances in vibrant strokes and whispers of tranquility Let us celebrate the beauty of nature together, and may her paintings serve as a reminder of the profound connection we share with the world around us.
