Gisa Elwazir
Like Jacquard Tapestries
November 2-30, 2019
Opening Reception: Saturday, November 2, 5-8pm
Haley-Herman Contemporary Art
at Open Studio 516
516 Fabrication Street
Dallas, Texas 75212

Haley-Henman Contemporary Art announces the sixth iteration of Gisa Elwazir’s collection of paintings with the theme of organic abstraction. This series is titled: Like Jacquard Tapestries and will be on view from November 2-30, 2019 at 516 Fabrication Street, Dallas, Texas 75212. The opening reception is on Saturday, November 2 from 5-8 pm. Other viewing hours for your convenience are by appointment: call/text 214-532-3225.

Like Jacquard Tapestries are ten works completed by Elwazir during the last year (2018-2019). There are elemental forms and patterns carried throughout the entire collection to date, but the singularity of imagination strikes each painting and series as unique. These paintings are noted for their bold composition, exquisite play of pattern, and dramatic juxtaposition of colors. They are like fine weavings from thoughts floating through our minds, the gathering of textures and movements that tend to make additional shapes and new directions.

Gisa Elwazir continues her process using the media of decalcomania, gouache and ink on paper. She honors her spiritual mentor Max Ernst and his interpretation of Artist, as being the master of certain techniques, processes, and mechanisms of consciousness. This is, indeed, at the very center of her practice. She believes in the power of the Mechanisms of Poetic Imagination, viewing herself as medium, as an onlooker of her work in progress.
