Exhibition may 10 - June 30th, 2025
Opening Reception may 10th | 5-9pm
Studio Sabka is pleased to announce the unveiling of Coupl-ism: Love, Art & Modern Collaboration, a captivating exhibition by the dynamic husband-and-wife duo, Laert and Kinsey Aleksi. This exclusive show, which opens on May 10th, 2025, invites guests to experience the powerful synergy of two artists in love, as they push the envelope of collaborative artwork into the most intimate and vulnerable places, creating a body of work that is both astonishing in technique and magnitude.
In Coupl-ism, the Aleksis present a collection that explores a loose, impressionistic style, creating dynamic works that range from lush florals to mystic skies, from deep seas to striking portraits. Each piece represents not just a week in the life of a married couple, but an exploration of love, humor, passion, and the ever-changing nature of art itself. The collaboration between Laert and Kinsey is both intimate and ambitious, offering a rare glimpse into the heart of their artistic process and personal journey. At 6:00 PM, join Laert and Kinsey Aleksi for an insightful Artist Talk, where they will share the story behind Coupl-ism, the challenges and joys of creating side by side, the progression of their collaborative work and their unbelievable goal of 1,000 paintings together. This intimate conversation offers a deeper understanding of their creative journey and the unique dynamics of their partnership.
What began as a spontaneous Valentine's Day dare has grown into an extraordinary artistic adventure. Laert Aleksi Xhaferi, a renowned classical artist and teacher, and his wife, Kinsey Aleksi, embarked on a challenge initially coined “52 Weeks 52 Quickies” to create one painting each week—together—on a single canvas. Their goal was simple: to push the boundaries of creativity while strengthening their bond through art. The result? A striking body of work that spans a multitude of styles, subjects, and techniques, captured with raw emotion and quick wit.
“I never imagined I could paint with someone else. Allowing someone into your creative space is scary and exhilarating. Little did I know that it would open the door to deep understanding and togetherness, while pushing our individual creativity beyond the limits over and over,” says Kinsey Aleksi.
Together, they are rewriting the rules with the force of their art and one-of-a-kind process, combining technical prowess with deep emotional resonance. Coupl-ism is a rare opportunity to witness the evolution of 52 Weeks 52 Quickies, where spontaneity and meticulous technique coalesce to form a body of work unlike anything seen before.

“I have so enjoyed the many images yall have shared with us. To me they are not mere paintings... but rather.. visual expressions of your lives together. A glimpse of emotion, of passion, empathy, of wonder.... and knowing that so many of these captured emotions exist as a collaborative expression from both of you, it deepens and enriches the feelings I experience. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us.
