What Falls from the Sky

Featuring new work by Janna Watson

Laura Rathe Fine Art Houston presents What Falls from the Sky, a solo exhibition featuring new work by Janna Watson. For Janna, the sky “is the original abstract painter. Clouds compose and decompose in light, mood moving across them like breath, casting feeling, unclaimed and unowned, onto the land below, available to everyone willing to stand still long enough to witness it.” The sky communicates without words, using shifts in light, temperature, clouds, and wind to create an experience that can be felt before it can be understood. For Janna, this becomes a way of thinking about abstraction: a language that does not need to explain itself, but can still communicate something deeply felt. The exhibition reception will be held on Thursday, October 22nd, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the River Oaks District gallery (4444 Westheimer Rd, Suite D135).
