Showing: Fall 2025 Location: 346 N Pacific Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, CA 92651. JoAnne Artman Gallery is pleased to present “Beneath a Painted Sky” a stunning exhibition featuring the evocative works of French artist Swan Scalabre. Scalabre, known for her masterful oil-on-panel paintings, invites viewers into a mesmerizing world where women are depicted against the backdrop of vividly painted skies. Each piece captures the essence of femininity and strength while exploring themes of the western countryside and serene bathers. “Beneath a Painted Sky” presents a unique opportunity to experience Scalabre’s artistic vision where every brushstroke tells a story. Her works are a celebration of womanhood, set within landscapes that evoke both nostalgia and a sense of wonder. Her captivating oil paintings masterfully navigate the intricate themes of truth and the divine through her striking portraits of women. Within these portraits, Scalabre’s female figures are often found nestled among soft clouds, creating a harmonious yet sometimes tumultuous backdrop. This juxtaposition underscores the tension between the serene beauty of nature and the underlying complexity of the human experience. Scalabre’s characters often appear contemplative, gazing into the distance as if searching for answers within the swirling clouds above. This introspective quality resonates with many of us, as we find ourselves in moments of uncertainty or reflection. What sets Scalabre apart in the art scene is not just her choice of subject matter but also her distinctive approach to form and composition. Her works are characterized by their small format, creating an intimate viewing experience that draws the audience in. Unlike traditional portraits that might loom large, Scalabre’s paintings invite contemplation in a more personal space, allowing viewers to connect with the characters on a profound level. Through her art, Swan Scalabre offers a visual dialogue that encourages introspection and the search for meaning. Each piece serves as an invitation to ponder deeper existential questions while simultaneously celebrating the beauty and complexity of femininity. Swan Scalabre’s work will inspire, provoke, engage and mesmerize. With visual perceptions always changing, peek behind the stories told and you’re sure to find the right artistic expression.
