Malden artist’s latest drawings on exhibit

SJ Art Consulting presents “Notes on the World Around Us”

SJ Art Consulting was pleased to announce Notes on the World Around Us, a two-person exhibition featuring original drawings by Ingrid Ludt and Sand T Kalloch, at their gallery in downtown Haverhill, Mass. The two series of drawings by Ingrid Ludt and Sand T Kalloch tell stories related to physical places and objects, real and in the mind’s eye.

Sand T’s abstract series utilizes wax pastels, graphite, conte and ink to ruminate on the concept of “A Mile Long.” Beginning with more concrete concepts, such as length, speed and time, Sand T’s final drawings lead the viewer to more abstract notions of survival, endurance and our very existence. The work invites viewers to dive into their own experiences, seeing both recognizable and newer concepts emerge.

Ludt’s ink and pencil drawings capture the essence of physical forms by focusing on their outer edges. Through the use of simplified gestures, she uncovers the intrinsic energy and distinct character of objects like stones and shells. Her attention to rhythm and line is inspired by a background in dance.

The public is invited to attend an opening reception on Thursday, March 14, 2024, from 5-8 p.m. Both artists will be in attendance, and refreshments will be served. The exhibition will be on view from March 14 through April 14 at 43 Washington St. in Haverhill.

Sand T Kalloch is a contemporary artist known for her reductive abstract work. She maintains a studio in Malden. Her artistic output comes in the form of mixed-media paintings, low relief, and works on paper. A simplifying approach to art-making is the driving force behind her mixed-media works. The primary intention is to utilize six basic elements of visual language: dot, line, surface, color, form and light.

Sand T holds a Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. She has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants for her work in the visual arts, as well as for her volunteer works in art advocacy and community building. Her exhibition history is extensive, with representation in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Australia, Canada, France, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and the United States. Represented by art dealers in the United States, Canada, Malaysia and Singapore, her work has been shown nationally and internationally in dozens of art fairs. Sand T’s artwork resides in public and private art collections worldwide.
