Halloween Gallery Showcase featuring Giulia Gray Tonight!

Posted on 31 October 2024

To dress or not to dress... (your choice)

Join us this evening for a spooktacular time!

Please join us this Halloween for a Gallery Showcase featuring Giulia Gray. Her work entitled 'In Segno D'Acqua' highlights the human experience and it's evolutionary process through the everyday. She is interested in the uniqueness and in the repeatable- the macro becomes the micro and vice versa, in an ongoing succession of infinite, ever-changing forms, that move in a sinuous dance through space and time. Moreover, in the video installation, moments of common life unfold, with water always serving as a central element of inspiration and reflection. Take time out of your busy day for a moment of tranquility at The Art of Style. Come spend a few minutes viewing her work and come to the main event before she leaves TAOS Gallery tonight Thursday, October 31st from 7-10pm. Feel free to dress up as you wish.

Giulia Gray (Florence, 1981) lives and works in Florence. She was attracted to painting, photography and fashion since she was a child. She graduated in fashion and design at the Istituto Statale D'Arte (2000), in design fashion at Polimoda (2002) and in fashion photography and lighting techniques at the Fondazione Studio Marangoni (2016) - Florence. Having obtained a degree in Design, she dedicated herself mainly to Fashion, working as a fashion stylist for various companies in the sector, designing collections to import many international brands such as Armani, Calvin Klein and Swarovski (2002-2022). Her clothes come chosen to show at the Michelangelo Prize and at the Art Cafè in Rome. Finalist for the 3 Intimate Prize La Perla Group and at Mercedes Benz - Daimler Chrysler, exhibits at Villa Erba, Como. It's between winners of the Prospettiva Serre photography prize of Serre Torrigiani, Florence. It is published in some magazines in the sector, among which it is worth mentioning Vogue Italia. From 2021 he returns to dedicate herself mainly to Conceptual Art, using the pictorial and photographic medium. Her work investigates the human, its evolutionary process through everyday life, trying to give voice to what in the social era it is hidden or discarded, deemed boring or irrelevant, to show beauty of truth in its most inconspicuous form.

Nothing scarier than missing an opportunity like this...

Time is moving fast, but there is still time to sign up for The Transformative Experience for next summer. We will depart from Venice, Italy, and travel throughout Croatia (for all of you Game of Thrones fans), with a pit stop in Montenegro, and return to Venice. For those that want an extended stay/tour in Italy, that can also be arranged for an extra fee. You can even travel with me back to Florence for a local experience in one of the most beautiful cities in the world (or schedule a session with me for deeper transformational work). With only 15 spaces available, don't hesitate to secure your space while cabins are still available. This Transformative Experience will be held July 12th-19th, and is for anyone who is wanting to know how to do the inner work, heal their past in the present moment, and plan consciously for the future. These seven days will act as a major reset to your life, restoring your mind, body, and soul. I will walk you through the whole process and guide you along life's journey without judgement, but with a whole lot of love. Each morning we will practice mindfulness and movement (aka meditation and yoga), focusing on a different chakra each day, then walk through spectacular cities. Deadline to commit and make a deposit is Decemeber 15th, with the final payment being due on April 7, 2025, so plenty of time to coordinate. Please respond to this email if you are interested or you can email [email protected] for more details. Cannot wait to set sail on the open sea with you, as our hearts and minds open up to the infinite possibilities that await us in this expansive world. Don't be scared to transform...

The Substitute

There is nothing spooky about The Substitute. Even though it may look scary cause there is nothing to actually see, what we fear is the unknown. However what we need resides inside, the breath. You see, The Substitute helps you just be. It helps calm you down when you get anxious, stressed or depressed. And it is the ultimate accessory to use in so many situations. What better day to try The Substitute than today?! Get into the spirit of Halloween and find yourself feeling free. Just breathe.

The Books- Available on Amazon and Audible (and Italian!)

You only live once, may as well be yourself (except maybe today...)

When your mind, body, and soul are tended to, you don't need to try to be anyone else.

Intimate Conversations with Lady Kendra

Join me every Monday at 9pm CET on Instagram Live as I talk about life and such. This is my way to have a conversation with the world about some subjects that may be taboo or touchy. For me, there is no such thing. Please feel free to leave a comment or ask a question. This week I talked determination. I refuse to give up on my dreams. Be a part of the conversation in person from 7-9pm at The Art of Style or just tune in when you have the time and follow the journey @kendraleonard...

Mindfulness and Movement

I also invite you to join me every Wednesday morning from 9-11 am as I share my mediation and yoga practice with the community. This is a safe space where all are welcome. No experience is required. Each month I will shift the focus to a different chakra so we can not only align them, but our bodies as well. The seven main chakras play a role in the flow of energy in your body, as they all correspond to specific nerve bundles and organs. When one or more of your chakras becomes blocked or unbalanced, it can impact your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. For November the focus is on the third eye chakra, which helps us make sense of the world by connecting the dots between what we see externally and what we understand internally. It is our inner teacher, the source of intuition that leads us toward clarity and meaning in our everyday experiences. Come with an open heart and mind, and feel your body unwind. Sign up in advance to secure your space.

Find yourself.
