About Gabrielle de Montmollin
Gabrielle de Montmollin’s photography brings ideas and concepts from her imagination to life. Using surrealism and humor, she crafts images that often tell a story or construct a narrative, inviting viewers to interpret them through their own personal experiences. Although primarily self-taught, Gabrielle has honed her craft with basic darkroom and studio technique courses. She uses simple photographic equipment, identifying herself as a “folk artist” photographer. Her work is a blend of whimsy and depth, often leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
About Tony Calzetta
Tony Calzetta’s art originates from his early paintings grounded in linear abstraction. His images are composed of shapes and forms that evolve from a highly personal visual vocabulary, beginning with subconscious doodling and automatic drawing. Over time, Tony has consciously incorporated external visual influences into his work. Often described as ‘abstract funnies’ or ‘surreal cartoons,’ his artwork challenges the boundaries between high art and popular culture. Tony’s aesthetic emphasizes ‘image as image,’ encouraging viewers to create their own narratives within the elements of his work.
AIH Studios provides a unique art experience that blends the surreal with the abstract, the humorous with the profound. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to explore “CHRIS REILLY | LOVE | LOST | RUINS” and the captivating works of Tony Calzetta and Gabrielle de Montmollin.
