OPENING NIGHT Join us at Detour Gallery on Thursday, November 14th, 6pm-9pm for the solo show opening night of " A Kind Soul Is A Cool Soul" by Storm Ritter. ABOUT THE ARTIST Storm Ritter is a NYC-based fine artist and designer known for her past retail/gallery brick-and-mortar storefronts, S torm Ritter Studio, and distinctive brand of art, fashion, and interior design. She is a full-time painter, and business owner in the Village since 2014 specializing in canvas paintings, murals, textile design, painted garments, home decor, and artisan merchandise. As an ambidextrous artist, Storm's surrealist work explores mystical escapism, theatrical landscapes, and esoteric themes using her right hand for structural technique, left for organic emotion. Inspired by musical frission and synesthesia, paintings collectively feature her signature spiritual storytellers, The Cool People, who have stylistically evolved over ten years. Storm currently continues studio work and commissions at her East Village Private Studio. ABOUT THE COLLECTION A Kind Soul Is A Cool Soul is the visualization of the artist's theatrical universe, where her spirits come to play. Organically painted with the right and left hand in tandem, the surrealist work depicts compositions of natural magic and themes of reincarnated nostalgia. With the physical and emotional response from music, the artist is inspired by the colors of classical opera/operettas, harpsichord-infused rock, and cinematic scores from Technicolor musicals to modern melodramas. Storm Ritter's body of work is an expressionistic reflection of her past year exploring the supernatural elements of the self and dynamic definitions of home . The signature spiritual figures, The Cool People , are teachers on her journey to understand her soul, inviting viewers to show kindness to their own.
