About
Emilie Stark-Menneg’s Supernatural explores the permeability of the boundary between life and death in a dynamic suite of new works that take inspiration from sources as diverse as the sixteenth century Italian painter Pontormo and the twentieth century feminist artist Ana Mendieta. In her imagery of regeneration and regrowth, Stark-Menneg identifies a metaphor for the intersection of art with life, echoing the work of fellow artists from the Renaissance to our own era, and transporting us into the realm of the supernatural, where brave new worlds await.
Major support for the exhibition has been provided by the Lowell Innes Fund.
