Grand Bohemian Gallery will host “and yet we co-exist” exhibition by Taylor and Connor Robinson in September. Local artists Taylor and Connor Robinson handcraft textured sculptural paintings and reliefs under their trade name Visceral Home. Their work is textural, compositions grown from experimentation using contrasting natural earth compounds and unnatural elements to represent the complexities of mental health and addiction disorders. The art they create is a meditative process, a personal reflective journey. While healing parts of themselves they aim to inspire vulnerability in the viewer. The artists intend to help destigmatize mental health by pairing vulnerable written autobiographies alongside viscerally evocative art. Every painting has been cared for and thought of as a singular soulful entity, treated as their own unique being, story being told, and personality. Their artwork and process focus on a personal promise, a deeply felt commitment that they cannot create without helping others create a better future for themselves. Both Taylor and Connor are in recovery from substance abuse disorder, and Taylor battles cPTSD. To be where they are today is a miracle. They are eternally grateful to be able to share their art in new spaces and share their story, and hope to inspire others. They share their gratitude by giving back and donating to local charities (Charleston is at the very bottom of the US list for mental health resources). Taylor and Connor Robinson focus on new and innovative ways to open doors to these potentially uncomfortable conversations, art being one avenue. Taylor and Connor Robinson will be at the Grand Bohemian Gallery for an Opening Reception of this solo exhibition “and yet we co-exist” on Friday, September 1st from 4PM-7PM in tandem with the Charleston Gallery Association’s First Friday Art Walk. Both artists will return to the Grand Bohemian Gallery for a Closing Reception on Saturday, September 30th from 2PM-6PM. The exhibition runs from September 1 – 30, 2023.

Grand Bohemian Gallery will present an exhibition of new works by Bluffton-based visual artist Pam White in August. The “Ocean Untamed” exhibition will be on display from August 4th to to August 27th White is well versed in classic materials and mediums including oil, acrylic, and inks. Five years ago, she decided to dedicate her time primarily to encaustic wax. Art is a form of communication and Pam communicates her vision, and her interpretation of nature around her with a mixture of beeswax, resin and pigment. It is methodically and strategically moved on the canvas, using a torch and carving tools. Pam deliberately chooses different ratios of pigment in her wax and resin to bring attention to the layers below. The intentional carving through and gently refusing the layers with a torch to show the collision of colors invigorates her. Her August 2023 show entitled “Ocean Untamed” exemplifies her understanding and appreciation of our ocean and waterways. Pam’s visual “description” through the use of wax exhibits not only the power and magnitude but the inner dissection of a ripple of water. This exhibition runs from Friday, August 4th (in tandem with the Charleston Gallery Association’s First Friday Art Walk) through Sunday, August 17th. Pam White will be at the Grand Bohemian Gallery Charleston on Saturday, August 5th for the opening reception. The artist will be Live Painting (encaustic with blow torch) on the gallery patio from 2 pm to  4 pm then a follow-up formal Artist Reception will take place in the gallery from 6 pm to 8 pm. See the full collection here. The Grand Bohemian Hotel – Grand Bohemian Gallery is located at 55 Wentworth Street.
