Quiet Chaos: Watercolors, Monoprints, & Collages by Beth Goldstein

This series of artwork by Cincinnati artist Beth Goldstein aims to portray an awareness of the stark reality of our present and future lives in such a dynamic, explosive, and life-changing landscape of global conflict and the concurrent quiet chaos that ensues. They reflect a snapshot of emotion and quick glimpses of the lasting implications of change and disorder in our lives today.

“My intention is to give guests permission to feel ambiguous about their interpretations of this body of work, which explores my emotional reflections of our precarious existence.” – Beth Goldstein

Opening Reception: Saturday, August 23 from 6-8 pm. Free, open to the public, light refreshments.

Artist Talk: Saturday, September 20 starting at 1 pm. Free, open to the public, light refreshments.

Exhibition Sponsored by Boris Litwin Custom Jewelers

From the vantage point of our daily personal lives, what we witness happening in the world often influences our ever-changing perspective on life. Whether good news or bad… we continue to experience life’s drama through news, social media, and more. Such a barrage of information can dramatically impact us both emotionally and intellectually. We alter our personal roadmaps, our way of thinking, our expectations and our dreams. This chaos changes the landscape we envision before us, and we have no option but to constantly react and adapt.

Ignited by the events of October 7 in Israel, the artworks in this exhibit are visual responses to the thoughts and emotions about the future when, like the world, Beth Goldstein was shocked into the awareness of the magnitude and complexity of the event. An evolving, enhanced, and enlightened observation of the profound effect that event, and the ensuing equally intense events that followed, had on the artist began to emerge in her work.

Wars are occurring all over the world, with countries and people divided by power struggles. These global conflicts have a profound effect on not only the external alteration of the physical landscape and environment itself but also have a deep impact on each human individual internally. This body of artwork aims to bring a new awareness to the reality of our present and future lives brought about by living in such a dynamic, explosive, and life-changing landscape among global conflict.
