Briefly

art as encounter: quiet abstraction and soft spatial atmosphere converge at galerie de nuage
"Drawing partly from her identity as one of triplets, Stokie's practice examines how personal identity is constructed alongside systems of connection, duplication, and variation. While Bernstein's work operates near the threshold of disappearance and Stokie's paintings build density through accumulation, both practices explore how emotional and spatial experiences can be"
A cultural platform positions contemporary art as a framework for encounter rather than spectacle. Exhibitions, curatorial programming, and interdisciplinary collaborations focus on how artworks shape experiences of attention, memory, and belonging across cultural contexts. Rita Bernstein creates small works on paper using washi, using restrained compositions, subtle marks, layered textures, and close viewing conditions. Her practice emphasizes duration, concentration, and quiet observation, reflecting minimalist and meditative abstraction while remaining intimate in scale and material sensitivity. Amber Stokie creates abstract paintings through repetition and dual-handed mark-making, beginning with simultaneous gestures and developing through additive and subtractive processes. Layered grids, color shifts, and repeated forms connect individuality with collective experience, using identity as triplets to examine systems of connection, duplication, and variation.
