Upcoming Events:

Friday, Aug. 28th, 7-8pm: Artist Talk for SCRIPTIVE, Illuminations & Calligraphic Works by Candace Jensen & Sarah La Puerta.

Aleshire Gallery is pleased to host an artist talk for Scriptive, our summer exhibition of calligraphic illuminations and works on paper and parchment by Candace Jensen and Sarah La Puerta. Hors d’œuvres and refreshments will be available. The event will also be streamed live via Google Meet, by following this link: https://meet.google.com/qyk-yakq-yce.

In Scriptive, the two artists show selections of their work from the last decade, alongside new, never-before-seen illuminations, decorated texts and drawings made with traditional calligraphic materials, such as hand-made inks and watercolors from locally gathered materials, gouache, tempera, ink, gold leaf, paper and parchments processed by hand.

Sep 6th, 5pm: First Sunday Film Club

IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000). Written, directed, and produced by Wong Kar-wai.

An international co-production between Hong Kong and France, the film follows a man (Tony Leung) and a woman (Maggie Cheung) in 1962 who discover that their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together, they gradually develop feelings for one another. The film premiered in the official competition at the 53rd Cannes Film Festival, where Leung won the Best Actor award, becoming the first Hong Kong actor to receive the honor. It is often listed as one of the greatest films of all time and one of the major works of Asian cinema.
