NEW YORK, NY.- Ceres Gallery presents Music of the Spheres, an exhibit of 22 digital paintings by Chalda Maloff. This latest group of artworks offers the viewer a fantastical biosphere of botanic and aquatic images. Rooted in the Greek philosophy of “Music of the Spheres”, these abstract artworks are suggestive of the pulse or rhythm of life.

“This series of pieces originated in my mind on a wee hours saunter on an urban greenbelt,” Maloff states. “My attention was seized by a microcosm of insect webs and dew drops, which seemed to throb with an exquisite energy that felt almost audible. The specter called to mind the ancient concept that celestial bodies vibrate to make a form of music.”

The Greeks reasoned that, humankind, living in the midst of this continuous universal symphony, defines it as silence. But with tender consideration to the individual reverberations, each is revealed to be a sacred descant of beauty, complete within itself and yet a dynamic voice in the ensemble.

Maloff views this concept as particularly germane today. Her graduate studies in the field of Human Ecology, coupled with an Art History background, inform her reinterpretation of the philosophical metaphor into a visual domain. “My goal with these artworks is to leave the viewer energized,” she says, “perhaps with a heightened awareness of the nuance of passing moments, and of the ongoing contribution of the smallest perfections around us.”

Maloff’s art has been exhibited in North and South America, Australia, and Europe. Recent awards include Texas Biggest 10 with Katy Contemporary Arts Museum in Texas, and Second Mention of Honor at the VIII Salón de Arte Digital in Venezuela. In her home state of Texas, she is represented by Mary Tomás Gallery in Dallas.
