Exciting Art Event Featuring Local Artist Abigail Tulis Set for December 6th in Chattanooga

Exciting Art Event Coming to Chattanooga!

Chattanooga, are you ready for a special evening filled with creativity and comfort? Wavelength Space is inviting everyone to attend a delightful film screening, enjoy some hot apple cider, and immerse themselves in a beautiful collection of drawings and paintings by local artist Abigail Tulis this Friday, December 6th, from 5 PM to 8 PM!

Explore the Themes of Rooigem

Get ready to be enchanted by Tulis’ latest exhibition titled Rooigem. Rooted in the breathtaking landscapes and seasons that surround us, this stunning collection navigates the intricate themes of belonging, metamorphosis, and the idea of creative practice as a way of searching for meaning. Tulis emphasizes how her time in Rooigem, a magical domain in Belgium, has shaped her artistic journey.

Tulis shares, “Painting is, for me, a form of magic, exorcism, and manifestation.” Her artwork is not just about creating something visually pleasing; it reflects a deeper phase of her life marked by solitude, heartbreak, and healing. During her time in this enchanting place that she cherishes as a second home, she found companionship in nature and the peacefulness of her surroundings.

A Reflection on Nature and Healing

The works in Rooigem are deeply personal, capturing moments spent with swans, trees, and blooming flowers—all of which became Tulis’ beloved companions during her creative practice. Each painting tells a story of resilience and solace found amidst nature.

“Each day, I painted to soothe a grieving heart,” she reveals. Tulis reflects on her experiences meditating on the delicate dew resting on floating feathers or the glistening spider webs spun in the quiet corners of her studio. These moments of stillness allowed her to connect with both the outer world and her inner landscape, and she hopes to inspire others to do the same.

Invitation to Pause and Reflect

Through her art, Tulis invites viewers to engage in a meditative reflection on creativity, heartbreak, and the healing powers found in the natural world. “Slow down. Breathe. See how the world looks anew when you stop to pay attention,” she encourages.

Whether you’re an art lover, someone in need of a bit of peace, or just curious about local talents, this event is open to everyone. So don’t miss out! Make sure to mark your calendars and gather some friends for a cozy evening filled with creativity, warmth, and inspiration.
