"The Song of Earth Has Many Different Chords"
Gabe Brown and Scott Hazard
November 12-Jan 31 2021
Gabe Brown
Gabe Brown creates gorgeous landscapes that celebrate nature and the
changing seasons. She creates a world of parallel universes that reward us
with spaces of both vastness and intimacy. Gabe’s depiction of nature is
sensuous; bursting forth and performing for us. Her palettes are bold and
elegant. She employs a mystical layering of motifs of water, land, leaves,
mountains, rainbows and rocks in complex variations. There is a great deal
of control in her work and as well as a freedom and letting go.
Her universe is full of mystery and wonder and each work moves us closer
to nature and ourselves. As Gabe says “Art is like magic, an illusion created
by the force of humanity.”
Gabe Brown was raised in New York City. She received her BFA from The
Cooper Union and was awarded a full fellowship to attend the Skowhegan
School of Painting and Sculpture. She received her MFA in painting from
the University of California, Davis. Gabe is a 2018 recipient of a New York
Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Painting Award. She has exhibited in
many shows including Kenise Barnes Contemporary Art, Samuel Dorsky
Museum of Art, Matteawan Gallery, The Saratoga Arts Center, PULSE
Miami Art Fair, Garrison Arts Center, ArtsWestchester, Schweinfurth Arts
Center, SUNY Brockport, the Horticultural Society of New York, Sears-
Peyton Gallery and Carrie Haddad Gallery. Her work is included in both
public and private collections. She lives and works in the Hudson Valley of
New York. This is Gabe’s second show with Adah Rose Gallery.
Scott Hazard
The sculptures of Scott Hazard are tactile and poetic, allowing our minds to
relax, slow down and linger over his gentle phrases and quiet meanings.
Scott creates sculptures with hand torn paper and text that depict
gardens and landscapes with both order and serenity. The lulling text serves
as a mantra and a reminder of how important nature is in our lives. His
sculptures are an homage to mountains, rolling hills, rivers, caves, snow
and poetry, with important links to both Japanese and Chinese
gardens. Scott reminds us that the “origin of the English word
garden refers to a sense of enclosure...creating a safe haven”
The craft in his work is extraordinary and the vision quietly brilliant.
They have depth and warmth, focus and peace.
Scott was born in California and received a degree in Landscape
Architecture from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
He received an MFA in sculpture, photography and video from the
University of Florida. He is the recipient of an Artist Fellowship in Visual
Arts from the North Carolina Arts Council. Scott has exhibited at CAM
Raleigh, Mixed Green in NYC, Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville VA,
Goucher College, Davidson College, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, Art
Miami Context, Art Silicon Valley and The Reveal Art Fair. His work has
been featured in Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, Colossal and the Washington Post.
He lives and works in Raleigh, N.C. This is Scott’s second show with Adah Rose Gallery.
