Opening Reception - Reflect Currents

Creative Liberties presents “Reflected Currents,” a two-month collaborative residency and exhibition by artists Sandra Wix and Gary LaParl, on view January through February 2026 at Creative Liberties at ARCOS, 340 Central Ave., Sarasota. The exhibition includes individual works, process studies, and newly created collaborative pieces that will be developed during the artists’ residency. An opening
reception is Wednesday, January 21, 5-7 p.m. An open house and new work review is Saturday, February 21, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Merging luminous undersea abstraction with emotive figurative narrative, “Reflected Currents” explores the profound connection between the movement of water
and the movement of human emotion. Part residency and part shared exploration, the exhibition brings together two distinct visual languages that naturally converge. Wix’s
work draws from the quiet architecture of the ocean floor—layered light, drifting color, and tidal motion—while LaParl’s figurative pieces examine vulnerability, connection, and
interior transformation through expressive narrative imagery. Together, their work forms a visual dialogue between stillness and momentum, reflection and change.
