Corners and City Shadows – The Art of Raven Arcana

“The world is full of unused corners.”
— Brenna Yovanoff

There’s something haunting and tender about the places we pass without noticing. The alleyways, the peeling walls, the forgotten edges of a city… these are the spaces Raven Arcana brings to life in her new exhibition:

 “Corners” at Twisted Gallery.

🗓️ Opening: Friday, July 18 at 12 PM SLT
📍 Teleport to Twisted Gallery

🔳 “Corners” – Beauty in the Hidden

The ugly, the hidden, the secret spots… Let’s discover some of them with this exhibition—and maybe find some beauty within the secrets of these corners.
—Raven Arcana

Set within the industrial charm of Twisted Gallery, “Corners” captures overlooked urban scenes with raw tenderness. Broken streets. Empty chairs. A cat in an alley. Each photograph is like a held breath—quiet, moody, and full of untold story.

🖤 Anatomy of a City at NovaOwl

Across the grid, at NovaOwl, you’ll find “Anatomy of a City”—a collection of stark, grayscale urban photography that explores rhythm, repetition, and silence in public space. The tension between structure and emotion is palpable.

🎶 In the Mood for… at Lost Valentine

In another tone entirely, Raven’s “In the Mood for…” at Lost Valentine draws on music for inspiration. Poetic impressions unfold in warm, hazy tones—each piece titled after a song, each frame bathed in soft light and feeling.

At Raven’s Eye Gallery, you’ll also find golden-hued works of calm and reflection—sunset piers, birds in silhouette, and the hush of day’s end.

✨ About Raven Arcana

Raven Arcana’s work often balances emotion and architecture, personal memory and public silence. Her pieces feel like a dream you once had—almost remembered, slightly frayed at the edges. Her past exhibits like “Melancholia” and “Ends and New Beginnings” explored solitude, transitions, and the poetic weight of departure.

She’s also the Flickr curator for the Center for the Arts in Second Life, and her Marketplace is full of beautifully rendered pieces for collectors.

And in true Raven style, her bio reads:

“…mit Intelligenz ist es wie mit Unterwäsche… gut sie zu haben aber es muss sie nicht jeder sehen!”
(Intelligence is like underwear—good to have, but not everyone needs to see it.)

🕯️ What the Corners Remember

Raven Arcana’s work doesn’t just show us places—it listens to them. In her lens, a forgotten alley becomes a poem, a crumbling wall becomes a memory. Her art asks us to slow down, to honor the parts of the world that go unseen.

From the shadowed stillness of “Corners”, to the architectural hush of “Anatomy of a City”, to the soft warmth of “In the Mood for…”, each collection reveals another layer of presence—of what lingers, waits, or gently slips away.

If you’ve ever found solace in silence or resonance in rust, these works will meet you there.

🖼️ Visit the galleries.
🎶 Let the atmosphere speak.
🛍️ Bring a piece home, if your heart feels called.

Some corners remember what we forget.
Step into them—and see what echoes back.
