Exhibition Mariella Bisson
Sunlight Water and GravityJun 9, 9am to 5pm 830 Fifth Avenue, New York
Mariella Bisson’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’s paintings as the actual waterfalls.
Convicted Killers Escape from NY Prison, Still on the Loose
