Alexander Zakharov & Thilo Westermann: Miniatures in Palm Beach
How often do we pause to appreciate the little things? To truly reflect on the beauty in life鈥檚 minutiae requires a present state of mind. Sometimes, objects themselves invite this moment of contemplation. The intricate works of Alexander Zakharov and Thilo Westermann inspire this silence. Each artist, with a distinct style and medium, captures beauty in extraordinary detail. Zakharov鈥檚 whimsical, dreamlike compositions鈥攑ainted on wood panel with a single hair of a brush鈥攖ransport viewers to fantastical realms. Westermann, in contrast, creates still lives by meticulously etching paint from glass, revealing delicate and precise forms. Though their techniques differ, both artists share a belief: beauty is in the delicacy of form.
Coinciding with Spring, this two-person exhibition hopes to allow visitors moments of quiet reflection as the seasons change. Consisting of 12 paintings by Alexander Zakharov and 11 works by Thilo Westermann in the gallery鈥檚 Salon, the works are presented in an intimate setting that encourages a personal encounter with each piece. We hope that visitors will take time through magnifying lenses to examine the artworks and come away with a renewed sense of wonder.
