Perspectives of Peace

A Group Painting Exhibit featuring

Sabiha Iqbal, Carolee Jakes, and Eleanor Wang

Curated by J.S. Herbert and Halley Stubis

July 6, 2023 - November 2, 2023

“Drops of Fear or Dew” by Sabiha Iqbal

“Dance on the Lawn” by Eleanor Wang

“Island” by Carolee Jakes

Perspectives of Peace is a collective meditation on the universal value of peace, between individuals and the wider world. Studio Gallery artists Sabiha Iqbal, Carolee Jakes, and Eleanor Wang use luscious colors to conjure their personal definitions of what a harmonious world can and should be. They offer an urgent evaluation: if our world doesn’t give us the same emotions as these pieces do, how can we change to make it so? Exhibited at the Stimson Center, the show connects to the Center’s work on international security and prosperity. The incredible body of work that our Studio Gallery artists have produced also promotes unity and harmony alongside that mission. It’s our hope that this show will conjure thought-provoking discussion yet also provide viewers with a little oasis of peace.

Reception:

Tuesday October 3rd, 4-6pm at the Stimson Center. RSVP and by invitation only;
to request an invitation, please contact Halley Stubis at director@studiogallerydc.com.
