Gallery Seven presents “Sibling Rivalry”, an innovative show with a unique vision of three sibling painters: Lisa Hastings Moll, Edward Hastings and L. Christy Hastings. Traditional rivalry is normally competitive, for these siblings rivalry is more a call to challenge, to inspire, to learn and to revel in each otherʼs work. They are always supportive first, and it is their greatest delight to “show” with each other. They paint together often, as they did as children. This happens most frequently in the six weeks they spend together in August along Maineʼs rocky mid coast.
Though the siblings all went on to different schools and professions and left artwork behind for a time, eventually each sibling rediscovered their very first love. Art. They are mostly self-taught, genetically gifted and they continue to draw inspiration from Maine and the galleries and museums of New England.
While their styles vary from representational landscapes done in watercolor to large acrylic abstracts to mixed media, their work all shares a common bond. All of their art transcends the conceptual and gets its power from these 3 wonderful artists ability to work with volume, space, shape, form and color.
