Mary Devincentis
EXHIBITION DATES
September - November 2023
"I am very interested in the stories we humans tell about ourselves and others and about the world we live in. Whether myth or memory, imagined or experienced, personal or societal, our stories connect us to our core concerns, our deepest aspirations and the fears that we all have. I love the challenge of taking the elemental aspects of a narrative and creating work which I hope both transmits and transmutes and brings something that is fresh and relatable to the viewer.
Though the backstory of each painting is essential to me, I want the viewer to be free to approach the work from their own individual perspective, from their own history and sensibility. I love it when someone finds something in my work that is new to me. Narrative is a structuring device for me, suggesting imagery, an emotional tone and a formal approach for each individual painting.
Striving for a dynamic tension between form and content in my work, I try to tap my most deeply available self to create work that strikes a wordless chord of recognition in the viewer, as I believe that the idiosyncrasy of the personal, deeply and truthfully excavated, expresses the universal. I appreciate seeing indications of the artist’s physicality, their unique fingerprint, as evidenced in brush-stroke and mark-making. Paint is kin to skin, viscera, blood, mineral, plant and stardust."

Lauren Reid
EXHIBITION DATES
February - May 2023
| Lauren Reid is a 23-year-old painter from White Plains, NY. She holds a dual bachelor's degree in Art and Psychology from Ithaca College. While her artwork ranges from charcoal drawings to pastel drawings, her primary medium is oil painting. Lauren Reid’s art is about understanding herself and others while connecting the role of hurt in a beautiful life. Lauren’s paintings serve as a vehicle for social change by expressing emotion and capturing the beauty of the human experience. Lauren wants to rewrite the backstory of the struggle in life’s hardships instead of the hardships writing the backstory, accomplishing this through the development of pieces that involve people reflecting on emotions and coping with troubles. She aims to show beauty without omitting the harsh. Creating art has influenced her life by giving her a sense of who she is and is becoming. She dreams of creating spaces and experiences that will serve as both a liberation and outlet for expression. |
