This simple act of transformation can bring joy and a sense of normalcy during difficult times.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_82766\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82766\" class=\"wp-image-82766\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AGA-Masquerade-Kluska-M-Octavia-oil-18h-x-18w-in.-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"399\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-82766\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Octavia. Margie Kluska, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Her selection of pieces for <em>Masquerade<\/em> reflects a romantic and mysterious energy, including one work that draws directly from Italian tradition. \u201cInspired by Venice, Evening in Venice reflects St. Mark\u2019s Square\u2019s enchanting masquerade ball, a scene defined by romance and intrigue,\u201d she says. \u201cThe soft glow of lanterns, the melodic strains of violins and the rustling of silk costumes set the tone as characters don elaborate outfits that mirror their unique traits: the witty jester with a mischievous grin, and the noblewoman whose gentle smile conceals a troubled past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kluska says the exhibit is meant to be a fully immersive experience. \u201cPeople should come to have fun and immerse themselves in a world of fantasy and make-believe,\u201d she says. \u201cEach piece invites you to step into a different story, to feel the emotions and live the experiences of its characters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She adds that she became deeply connected to the subjects she painted. \u201cAs I painted each piece, I fell in love with the characters. For instance, Livia\u2019s eyes narrow with a hint of jealousy as she gazes at Cornelia, whose serene smile reflects her regal nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Kluska, <em>Masquerade<\/em> is more than just a collection of art\u2014it\u2019s part of the area\u2019s recovery. \u201cAs our community recovers, I hope my show contributes to a grand renewal, offering not just art but a momentary escape and a shared sense of hope,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Asheville Gallery of Art, located at 82 Patton Avenue in downtown Asheville, is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. More information is available by calling 828.251.5796 or visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/AshevilleGalleryofArt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AshevilleGalleryofArt.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running from Monday, September 1, through Tuesday, September 30, Masquerade at Asheville Gallery of Art features the theatrical and playful work of artist Margie Kluska.
