Gestalt New York Presents Taking A Break, An Exhibition By Danish Artist, Stine Maria Aalykke

Hudson, New York – Gestalt New York, in collaboration with Danish artist, Stine Maria Aalykke from CAN Family, presents “Taking a Break,” a new series of portraits portraying moments of pause. Artist and illustrator Stine is fascinated with how the world works today. Everybody everywhere seems to be busy. When and how do people take a break with all that’s going on – physically and mentally, socially and personally, online and offline? For her new portrait series, Stine challenges this contemplation by portraying a simple moment, a person, a feeling – nothing more, nothing less. The viewer is left to do the same. Gestalt New York will present this series at their Hudson Showroom beginning with an opening event on Saturday, October 12th. Stine will be present, and the portraits will be available for purchase through November 10th. “With the desire to be present in the moment, I explore the sense of calm and peace, an elusive time-out moment through my series of portraits,” remarks Stine. “Surrounded by a hectic pace, high expectations and constant change, I depict the contrast to the world today – stop, breathe and just be”
