I am very excited by a new series that I have started, entitled Wabi Sabi, in which I am exploring a mid century modern minimalistic approach. I am choosing to not only moderate and define my shapes, but to also embrace a simple aesthetic of mark making that grows stronger when inessentials are eliminated.
I have started off with small pieces, one a day, that I am posting on Instagram and my website. They are ideal for a small wall, table, or bookcase, arrive on your doorstep matted, and ready for a 12" X 12" frame. The colors that I am using are current with what's being designed for a newly decorated Spring home! Soft pastels, airy neutrals or soothing blues and greens. I would love for you to consider a piece for your lovely home or office and enjoy the simplicity and calm of less is more.

Now to the title of my series........Wabi Sabi. I have included an explanation of what it means (below) but to keep it simple, basically it means 'embrace imperfection'. Pared down to it's barest essence, wabi-wabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature. Perfectly imperfect or could it be imperfectly perfect? I find that to be something I continually strive to accept, as my nature is to aim for perfection and in doing so, I lose sight of the spontaneous, fluid and perfectly imperfect moments.
So here's to more Wabi Sabi in my art and in your lives!
Below are two more days of work now available on my website www.GillianStGeorge.com
