The auction will be held online at www.TeriGalleries.com beginning Tuesday, October 20th and closing at 6pm CST on Saturday, October 24th. The highest bid for each piece will be announced immediately upon close of the auction. Bids will also be accepted via telephone by calling Teri Galleries at 504-887-8588.

“In honor of breast cancer awareness month, I encourage bidders to open their hearts and bid aggressively,” comments Sandy Kasten. “These oils are well worth the investment and are among the very few remaining Hemmerling originals available on the market. I envy whomever wins these beautiful works.”

Teri Galleries, Ltd. will also donate 10% of all sales within the gallery to CAGNO during the month of October. To learn more about Teri Galleries or to participate in the silent auction, please visit www.TeriGalleries.com or call 504-887-8588.

Teri Galleries, Ltd. introduces artist…GOLI!

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

“Her paintings mediate the tensions that are symptomatic of contemporary art. Thewarmand luminescent color palette, the mysterious forms lead to unified sense of energies often lacking in post-modernism.

Beauty of Nature

Beauty of Nature

Her paintings are less about thinking and more about intriguing energies from which they have arisen.”

Goli Mahallati’s original acrylics and limited edition prints on canvas or board, often depict aspects of humanity. Her images of individuals alone and in communal groups are stirring. The deeper felt reaction to her work goes beyond any type of provincial artistic genre and strikes at the elemental state of the human condition, sometimes bound together in support and love, and at other times isolated, either alone or in a crowd.
