EXHIBITION NOVEMBER 13, 2021 - JANUARY 8, 2022
OPENING RECEPTION NOVEMBER 13TH | 5-9 PM
When renowned artist and teacher Laert Aleksi Xhaferi decided to surprise his wife with a Valentine’s Day date to paint, he had no idea it would inspire an incredible year long challenge.
Trained in the classical style, their typical oil pieces can take months to finish. After completing a quick painting together the possibilities began to dawn on them. They agreed to take on a challenge to create - one quick painting each week for an entire year. Same canvas, same time, under 2 hours.
After a year immersed in art, creativity and togetherness, stopping was not an option. So, the challenge grew. Each year a new series will begin until 1,000 paintings are completed together as a couple.
Originated in a moment of passion, 52 Weeks, 52 Quickies is a challenge of wit, creativity and marital fortitude. Each piece is evocative and compelling, traversing a full range of subjects while chronicling a year in the life of two artists in love.
Join us in this intimate exhibition and become part of a one of a kind story of inspiration and devotion.
Meet the artists 5-9pm at the Artist Talk NOV 13th.
