Today more than ever, Marie Jose Gallery strives to put in conversation artists from the Occident and the Orient. To fulfill this mission, Marie Jose is proud to present The Shape of Feelings, a tidal wave of emotions brought to life by four international artists: Deepa Khanna Sobti, Emilie Coste, Golnaz Jebelli, and Harry Rudham. 

Indian-born Singaporean artist Deepa Khanna Sobti is an abstract expressionist artist who perfected her own, unique painting technique by applying oil on canvas with a palette knife in a repetitive, subsconscious manner. Every artwork produced is accompanied by a poem, born from the artist’s imagination, informing and enriching the viewer’s experience of the artwork. 

French-British sculptress Emilie Coste is known for her playful and interactive sculptures. Here, she presents her ‘Whimsical Bottoms’ - a line of porcelain candle holders with a distinctive anthropomorphic feel. Neither lifelike nor fully abstract, her candle holders exude motion and emotion. 

Indian-born Persian artist Golnaz Jebelli flirts with realism and abstraction when painting close-ups of reflections and shadows in bodies of water. She, too, allows the subconscious to play an important role in her creative process, visually representing what she sees when pondering the depths of a lake or an ocean. 

Exhibited for the second time at Marie Jose Gallery, British artist Harry Rudham is back with two of his latest works: a tourbillon of human cutouts, spiraling infinitely into a vortex of emotion, as well as a floral conjuring, drawing viewers far into the depths of the canvas. 

At its core, this exhibition is an exploration of the many shapes and forms artists ascribe to human emotions. It encourages visitors to take their time when coming into contact with the artworks, in order to be fully submerged by their emotional charge… and to cogitate about the shape of their own spectrum of feelings.
