FORZA VITALE at CARREFOUR 2026 Forza Vitale is a FORZA VITALE at CARREFOUR 2026

Forza Vitale is a vibrant exhibition of 24 abstract textile paintings by @brendagaelsmith @carrefour_patchwork that radiate energy and vitality.

Created from intensely colored, hand-dyed fabrics, each work is cut free-form and assembled into dynamic linear compositions and bold shapes, enriched with dense, expressive stitching.

The collection draws deeply from the natural world: the brilliant plumage and movement of Australian parrots; wild lupins blooming in vast drifts; luminous tulip fields; and oceans shimmering with phosphorescent light. From teeming marine life to the radiant glow of sunrise, these works capture nature’s pulse and perpetual renewal.

Through abstraction, color saturation, and rhythmic mark-making, Forza Vitale celebrates the life force that animates both landscape and human experience. The exhibition invites viewers into a sensory encounter with energy, transformation, and the enduring vitality of the natural world.
Sunday afternoon at @carrefour_patchwork brought f Sunday afternoon at @carrefour_patchwork brought fewer visitors but they were even more engaged in my Forza Vitale exhibition. Over and over again, people remarked to me that when they first entered the church, they were uncertain as to what it was all about. Then as they walked through and absorbed the exhibit, including labels and source inspiration images, they appreciated that the collection shared the story of my home environment,  and the life force that unites us all.
