The Main Gallery is proud to present the show “Sea Shells and Sonatas” with Susan Wolf and Arup Biswas, which will run October 19th through November 20th.

Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be served at the reception and it is a fantastic time to meet the artists and learn more about their work.
Inspiration for an artist comes from many sources, after being given a book of seashells last Christmas Susan Wolf was reminded of how beautiful they can be. Susan Wolf, as she says, “Really enjoys making beautiful things. My shells are not all turning out as I’d expected! Some of the particular shells I’d envisioned have not gotten beyond the first thought. Others, which I’d thought to give only a passing ‘mention’ have become points of focus”. Most of the ceramic handbuilt pieces are porcelain with much underglazing, some with a clear overglaze, some just raw. A few are made of coarser sculpture clays. But all are unique and find their own inherent beauty inspired by nature!
Arup Biswas was born in India in the foothills of the Himalayas. The pristine Himalayan beauty instilled in him a love for nature, which he rediscovered when he moved to the United States in 1992, after acquiring a Master’s degree in Computer Science. That’s when he bought his first camera and started photographing landscapes across the country. Biswas reminisces, “I remember crying in front of the Merced river in Yosemite after seeing the first snow in my life.”
Music has influenced Arup Biswas profoundly in all his photographic works. Although music and photography are experienced by two different senses, both mediums strive to evoke similar emotional responses in the human psyche. For Biswas a well-executed photographic print, in many ways, he says, “Is like a well orchestrated musical symphony.” Biswas states, “Trees are my most favorite subjects to photograph. I rarely get excited by grand landscape panoramas. But the blooming dogwoods in the spring, the yellow and orange aspens in the fall, and the dramatic redwood trees covered in snow make me feel alive; I start experiencing the color, form and shape throughout my whole body. I respond with my camera. The results are the recording of these intimate conversations with nature – visual ‘sonatas’ ”.
