Upcoming Group Art Exhibition - On View Starting November 24
I Carry My Landscapes Around With Me
Elizabeth Blake, Trevor King, Margaret Maclean, Clara McClenon, and Melissa Zexter. Exploring themes of our perception of nature, the exhibition combines ceramic works by Elizabeth Blake and Trevor King, large-scale oil paintings by Margaret Maclean, works on paper by Clara McClenon, and embroidered and painted photographs by Melissa Zexter. I Carry My Landscapes Around With Me takes its name from a show of paintings by Artist Joan Mitchell and expresses the artist’s internalized, personal understanding of their surroundings. Using figuration, art forms in nature, symbolism, rhythm, and repetition, each artist creates a distinctive visual language that articulates an interdependence with the environment. Organized by ceramicist Elizabeth Blake, the works investigate the complex feelings and impressions the natural world incites, namely joy, misgivings, and a sense of wonder. From the intimate interior scenes of Zexter to the expansive portentous landscapes of Maclean, each artist’s unique modality addresses a physical and spiritual connection that is as factual as it is mystical.
On View: November 24 - January 19, Reception with the Artists: Tuesday, December 3, 6-8 pm
Viewing Hours Monday - Sunday 12 - 4 pm
Portions of the exhibition can be closed during Heavenly Rest programs and rentals. Please contact info@heavenlyrest.org or 212-289-3400 to check the Church schedule.
