 Walk\n\nVisual Aid Gallery presents "Highlands", a solo exhibition of 
 paintings by French artist Martine Jardel. The public is invited to an 
 opening reception and a champagne reception honoring the artist. Jardel  
 has exhibited her work internationally, from the Bay Area to Paris, most 
 recently at the Studio Shop in Burlingame, California. This summer Jardel 
 and artist Thierry Rosset were featured in a show at Eglise Notre-Dame 
 Portbail, a medieval church in Northwestern France. \n\nIn her "Highlands" 
 series Jardel worked large to emphasize the gestural quality of the act of 
 painting. In recent years, she has shifted from vertical canvases to 
 painting horizontally. Inevitably, these new paintings suggest landscapes 
 but the ground is as deceptive and unstable as the marshland and the 
 horizon seems submerged in watery depths or fragmented and scattered over 
 the canvas. Using the landscape as a space to explore ideas and images, 
 Jardel visually evokes a collection of experiences, whose memories unspool 
 and evolve at their own pace in her imagination. \n\nVisual Aid Gallery 
 stimulates dialogue around illness and art through exciting, diverse, at 
 times controversial exhibitions that showcase work by Bay Area artists. The 
 organization was founded to support artists with AIDS, during the height of 
 the pandemic. Over time, Visual Aid expanded to encourage artists with 
 life-threatening illnesses to continue their creative work.\n
