DREAMING IN COLOR

September 14 to October 11

Opening Reception: Saturday September 14, 4 to 6pm

The Gallery at Yellow Studio is pleased to present "Dreaming in Color," a captivating exhibition featuring the works of Katy Ferrarone, Emily Keating Snyder, and Allison Rietta. This show explores the intersection of mindfulness, color, and geometric abstraction in contemporary art. The exhibition runs from September 14 to October 11, with an opening reception on Saturday, September 14 from 4-6pm.

In "Dreaming in Color," these three artists invite viewers into a world where meditation meets canvas. Ferrarone's circular forms and repetitive marks map the landscape of the mind, Keating Snyder's embroidered canvases blend craft and fine art, and Rietta's geometric abstractions explore mystic patterns and sacred sounds. Each artist uses color as a powerful tool to evoke emotion and presence, creating works that resonate on a deeply personal level.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Katy Ferrarone is an American painter based in New York with a BFA from Syracuse University. Her work centers around mindfulness, using color, space, and scale to depict emotions. Ferrarone's paintings serve as maps of her mind's experiences, exploring how to maintain a mindful state. Her background as a yoga and meditation teacher informs her artistic practice, using repetitive marks to quiet thoughts and remain present. Ferrarone has shown her paintings throughout the United States and Asia. For more information visit katyferrarone.com

Emily Keating Snyder is a New York-based artist creating colorful abstract paintings that incorporate embroidery. A graduate of NYU, Snyder's work brings craft into fine art by stitching thread through canvas. Her minimalist, textural paintings balance hard edges with soft fibers, reflecting the mind's push/pull between playful freedom and desire for order. Her art has been featured by Anthropologie, Real Simple, Emily Henderson, Clever and Parachute Home. For more information visit emilykeatingsnyder.com

Allison Rietta is an abstract painter based in Toronto, Canada. Her paintings and collages explore mystic geometry, symbols, and patterns, informed by her background in graphic design and spiritual practice of meditation and sound.

She has exhibited in solo and group shows in Toronto, New York and London. For more information visit allisonrietta.com

‘Colour of Sound’ is a solo exhibition of works by abstract artist Allison Rietta, showcasing 28 original artworks. Her abstract paintings and collages explore mystic geometry, symbols and patterns, working predominately in watercolours and acrylics. Her work is informed by her graphic design background, and her spiritual practice of sound and meditation. Drawing on the sacred sounds, Rietta’s art exudes melodic vibrations in which colours transcend the visual into the auditory. 

‘Colour of Sound’ will be located at the Cultural Goods Gallery at 1444 Dupont Street, Unit 15 in Toronto, Canada. Cultural Goods Gallery, is a cultural hub, exhibit space, and creative event area located in the Junction Triangle community opened by Kim Newport-Mimran and Joe Mimran.

SOLO EXHIBITION BY ALLISON RIETTA

Somewhere between the conscious and sub-conscious minds lies magic. The kind of magic in which the realm of experience is a deep relaxation and state of visionary conscious dreaming and archetypal imagery. This state is like a secret passage to our inner being. A place where we are not bound by logical rules and inner thinking.

A place I call the Dream Wheel.
