She constructs an ecosystem of hybrid forms, characters and shadows that inhabit ominous landscapes and emerge from or fade into dark, ambiguous places. Stone’s depictions whether abstract or explicit, portray themes of conflict, adaptation, and the interconnectedness of the natural world. Her sculptures, installations, and paintings may strike a person as unsettling as they teeter between grotesque and whimsical and urge viewers to explore and examine the recesses of their interior worlds. While critics have described her work as “brazenly personal,” her stated objective is to capture the inevitability of development and deterioration, the “organic process that we share with all living creatures – growth, transformation and decay.”Artist will be present June 5 and June 12, 3-5pmGallery IIEXTENDED THROUGH JUNE 19Ann R. ShapiroVANISHINGNEW YORK CITY FLOODING, 2020, Digital on Canvas, 18 x 24 inchesCeres GallerypresentsVANISHING, an exhibition by Ann R. Shapiro, depicting the current environmental crisis in two ways:in digital collages on canvas she focuses on issues in individual countries and states, while in the torn paper collages the literal narrative refers to the broken world in general.The digital collages on canvas are part of an on-going series subsumed under the title ofMAPS and CLIMATE CHANGE.InVANISHING,the focus is on countries, cities and states, where the primary emphases are on rising waters, rising temperatures and flooding.The work is entirely computer generated. Each piece includes at least one map and/or diagram as well as other imagery pertaining to the specific area.All pieces are layered to tell a story about the geographic region including the changes that are predicted to happen or already have.During the creation of work in theMAPS AND CLIMATE CHANGEseries,each piece goes through many permutations in order to arrive at its final state.Many of the different versions are printed out, taped to the wall, studied and then rejected for a variety of reasons: too big, too small, color is wrong, size is wrong, placement is wrong.There are an infinite number of reasons.It is these print “rejects” that form the basis of the torn paper collages, titledTRANSFORMED.The paper is torn, their placement is considered, arranged and rearranged while the larger narrative stays constant the placement and tension between elements tells a more metaphoric and personal story about change and the earth.Artist will be present June 5 and June 12, 3-5pm andby appointmentCeres Gallery is following all COVID19 requirements.Masks are required at all times.
