Winter Otherland
COLETTE COSENTINO with KELLEN MEYER
DECEMBER 5TH - 29TH
COLETTE COSENTINO
Drawing inspiration from the world around her, Colette Cosentino masterfully weaves color, texture, and emotion into her murals, wall coverings, and fine art pieces—transporting viewers into magical dreamscapes. Her unique style captures the essence of the human experience with a unique blend of color, texture and emotion. Blending elements of surrealism, abstract expressionism, and contemporary art, the results are captivating murals, wall coverings, and fine art pieces that create a magical dreamscape.
"Our rooms should be a place to show off individuality, a place to dream and refresh, protected from all the theatrics of the outside world."
-- Colette Cosentino
Winter Otherland
Escape to a Winter Otherland at Art & Soul in the Funk Zone. Enchanting wall coverings, murals, and fine art pieces by Colette Cosentino create a magical dreamscape, enhanced by ethereal fiber and reed petals and knit sculptures crafted by Kellen Meyer. To make this magical time even more special, we are offering portrait sessions with photographer Blue Gabor Photography, set against the magical backdrop of Cosentino's Messages with Rabbit, making each photo and moment feel like a piece of living art.
Kellen Meyer
Kellen Meyer is an artist living and working in Santa Barbara, California, exploring the intersection between art and ecology.
Her large-scale fiber installations weave together organic and inorganic materials – including wool, undyed canvas, paper, gems, shells, clay, and driftwood – found in the wild outdoors or sourced from local artisans and fiber sheds. These installations delve into the intricate connection between humanity and other diverse entities, embodying the notion of Natureculture as a sphere of coexistence, where her works eventually could compost back into the Earth.
Crafted in her studio overlooking a bird sanctuary, Kellen’s hand-woven works draw from the practice of knitting, crochet, and various weaving techniques to foster stories of interspecies co-evolution, biophilia, and connectivity.
