Exhibition: Mariella Bisson: Sunlight, Water and Gravity

2015-06-16T00:00:00.000

09:00

17:00

Gallery on Third Floor

<p>Mariella Bisson&rsquo;s large-scale, mixed media paintings of picturesque waterfalls in upstate New York are coupled with her preparatory drawings and watercolors in Sunlight, Water and Gravity. Her paintings, created with hundreds of pieces of layered paper, teeter on the edge of abstraction and representation. The overlapping paper replicates the texture of rushing water and rock strata. Motion, gravity, and the endlessness of geological time are as much the subject of Bisson&rsquo;s paintings as the actual waterfalls.</p>
