About StudioSwan

StudioSwan opened in 2006 in Serenbe as the combined studios and retail gallery space of nationally acclaimed artists Thomas Swanston and Gail Foster. Aside from regularly exhibiting Swanston’s and Foster’s art, StudioSwan showcases a number of other local and national artists, who share the same intensity of creative vision, passionate pursuit of innovation and technical mastery of their chosen medium. Less than a year from the gallery’s opening, StudioSwan was named among Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles magazine’s “HOT100: Atlanta’s 100 most intriguing people, captivating places and mesmerizing things that are defining Atlanta life and style in 2007—and beyond.”

“Dreams, Bright and Dark”

accompanying the exhibition held at StudioSwan June 9 – July 14, 2007

“Dreams, Bright and Dark,” curated by Jerry Cullum, features artwork by seven emerging young talents: photographers Jody Fausett (Whitespace, Atlanta), Amanda Palmer, Emily Karcher, and painters Heather Hartmann, Meta Gary, Shana Robbins, and Sonya Jilani. Diverse in subject matter and treatment, yet unified by their dream-like quality, the images in “Dreams” form a narrative, sometimes hopeful and romantic, and at other times more brooding and disturbed. In his poetic essay accompanying the show Cullum ruminates: “The artists in this exhibition are dreamers of personal dreams, not tellers or creators of collective stories, and yet their hopes and wishes are in a code that speaks to us even as it remains most deeply their own. …[T]he viewer is invited to engage in the dreams of day as an individual action: to dream, not the myth or story, but the dream itself onward.”
