LEVITY– Opening Reception

Be the first to view LEVITY: A Playful Exploration of Form and Flow by Ryan Wiese and Sally Spear.

Ryan Wiese & Sally Spear come together in a dynamic collaboration of contemporary minimalist paintings, ceramic sculptures, and mixed media pieces. This collaboration creates an immersive experience that invites viewers into a world of organic form, transparency, fluidity, and playfulness. LEVITY explores the intersection of form, color, flow, and the balance of the tangible and the ethereal. 

Through the lens of curiosity and joy, the art embraces a play of spatial concepts, allowing the pieces to “breathe” within the gallery and create a sense of floating wonder. LEVITY reimagines the gallery space, inviting the viewers to navigate an environment that feels both immersive and expansive – sparking curiosity through the interplay of the artists’ various mediums and forms. 

Ryan (paintings and sculpture) and Sally (ceramics and mixed media) individually share a deep reverence for natural elements and a commitment to contemporary forms, striking color, and a clean aesthetic. LEVITY expresses this shared vision, mixing the natural elements of clay, glass, and wood with paintings. They explore the relationship between form and openness in playful conversation, echoing the flow of currents, the layering of materials, and the organic forms found in nature. 

Definition of levity in nature : lightness, without weight, counterforce to gravity, rising flow of energy.
