FRINGE GALLERY
LOCATION: 307 East Colorado Avenue, Telluride
Fringe Gallery presents Gestures, a dynamic two-person exhibition with Telluride painter Aela B. Morgan and ceramic artist Angela Okajima-Kempinas. The works in this show convey strong energies, some louder than others, but are all unified by a shared sense of spirit, movement, and flow.
For Morgan, making art ""is a lived experience, a process of exploration, a moving meditation rendering explicit the journey of participation, observation and reflection."" These visual improvisations that are rooted in her own personal narratives awaken the senses with bold colors and gestural brushstrokes.
Meanwhile, the organic, biomorphic shapes of Okajima-Kempinas's ceramic wall works provide opportunities to pause and recenter. The artist is ""curious about the evocative nature of shapes, colors, surfaces, and the poetic power of compositions."" By merging elements of painting and sculpture, she creates a balance that is both seen and felt.
Each artist finds inspiration in nature – both Mother Nature and human nature. Through different modalities, they use the same language of abstraction to communicate an embodied sense of vitality, presence, and connection.

Some works express motion through stillness, others through rhythm, gesture, or flow, reminding us that nothing is ever truly static. “In Motion” celebrates creativity as an ongoing state of becoming—where art, like life itself, is always responding, evolving, and in motion.
