In case you didn’t know , we work with Artists and try to show Humanity, the human experience .

In an increasingly Artificial world , Higher Art Gallery is leaning into what is being jeopardized pretty consistently right now : art which celebrates the beauty of the natural world , materials which are sustainably used and come nature and simply just continuing to turn away from AI.

The number of framers I know telling me about folks bringing in AI printed canvases is disturbing . 🫤

We are excited to welcome Jasper Summers to the Higher Art Gallery family.

Jasper explores the balance between both the beauty and uncertainty that life presents .
Natural forms in wood fired clay are often presented in a precarious way and have figurative traits .
Through a locking joint system between components , his work is both stable and beautiful .

Stop in soon and take a look
