“Respite” by Jean Kigel.

Jean Kigel Studio + Gallery in Waldoboro is presenting “Respite,” a series of sumi-e and other Asian brush paintings that reflect the quiet after the summer season.

Using bamboo brushes, rapeseed-oil ink and a variety of rice papers, Kigel depicts local seascapes and objects with an emphasis on their essential forms. The artist describes the painting process as meditative, one that invites stillness and a sense of calm.

The gallery welcomes visitors year-round. Because the space is unheated, visitors are advised to dress warmly.

Jean Kigel Studio + Gallery is at 1396 Back Cove Road, Waldoboro. Visitors are encouraged to call ahead at 207-832-5152. For more information, email jean@jeankigel.com or visit jeankigel.com/asian-brush.
