July 6 – 29, 2023
Gallery 110 presents a New Members Show featuring Tabitha Abbott, Ruth Kapcia, Sanjida Mity and Ingrid Sojit. All four artists have joined Gallery 110 within the last five months and continue to explore their diverse subject matters, including nature, the afterlife, music and preservation. Each artist presents up to three pieces for the first time at Gallery 110 this July.
Tabitha Abbott is a contemporary mixed-media creator who lives and works in Seattle, WA. She paints vivid insects and integrates them with organic elements to create delicately positioned specimens for the viewer’s assessment and analysis. Abbott’s high-contrast compositions reflect the harmony she has found between her dichotomous worlds of art and regulatory corporate auditing.
Ruth Kapcia has always been creating from an early age and began her love of oil painting and oil pastels at the University of Texas Austin, College of Fine Arts, eventually moving from portraiture to abstract expressionism. Using her photographs from her travels around the US as a foundation, she interprets them into landscapes with bold strokes, texture, and color. Her paintings explore motion, space, and how elements work together (or against each other) to create energy, all resulting in distinctive imagery.
Sanjida Mity‘s passion for art has been a source of comfort and joy since her childhood days. Born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Mity draws inspiration from her multicultural upbringing. She employs glass and ceramic tiles as her canvas and uses various mediums such as alcohol ink, acrylic, oil pastels and more to create textures and experiment on different levels. She visualizes the colors flowing like ragas of classical music and considers her canvas to be not any less of a musical instrument.
Ingrid Sojit was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and has worked mostly in paper collage. In 2020, Ingrid returned to painting, now choosing to work with oils on cradled wood boards. Recurring themes of transcendence, regeneration, decay and ultimate justice are present throughout her work as well as the occasional exploration of her life-long interest in nature and the landscape.
The New Members Show will be on display at Gallery 110 from July 6 – 29, 2023. Gallery hours are Thursday – Saturday from 12pm – 5pm and by appointment. Please join us for the First Thursday Art Walk on July 6 from 4-8pm.
