"Couched w/o a Shot" showcases artwork created during the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise somewhat newish pieces on display within Art in Wanderland; which explains each accompanying installation shot. There is no other impetus for these works than a spontaneous brain and sporadic emotion - then again, what else should there be, other than this very brief mention of inspiration from fairytale, loss of loves and new insights gained... AH! All it's not missing is a healthy dose of cynicism and a pinch of tantalizing humor.
I invite you to book a stay at Art in Wanderland [CLICK HERE] to experience this exhibition's limited viewing - artwork on display is ever evolving and rotating. (Price lists available upon request.)
