Sarah Fairchild: Anima Mundi
October 24 – December 14, 2023
Artist Reception: Tuesday, October 24, 5–7pm
Contemporary Art Matters is delighted to present a solo exhibition of new works by Sarah Fairchild. The title of the show, Anima Mundi, defined as the soul of the world, is explained in many ways across many different ancient philosophies referring to the existence of a world soul, a spirit inside nature, and the intrinsic connection between all living things. Indeed, Fairchild brings an intense study of her natural surroundings into her work, imbuing it with an artificial brightness and fashioning with layers of material and process. The individual works celebrate elements of the forest that are often overlooked, but whose value to the environment is crucial. The exhibition will be on view October 24 through December 14, 2023 and an artist reception will be held on Tuesday, October 24, 5-7 pm.
Sarah Fairchild, Habitat, 2023, Silkscreen, acrylic, metallic foils and nylon flocking on paper, mounted, 55 x 39½ in.
Exhibition
Last few days to see A Room of Her Own
On view through October 19th, 2023
Kira Nam Greene, Room of My Own (Mudang), 2023, Oil, gouache, watercolor, colored pencil, and acrylic on canvas, 50 x 40 in.
Kira Nam Greene combines traditional, hyperrealist portraiture with design elements such as exposed under-drawing, hard edge abstraction, and thick impasto while drawing inspiration from the Pattern and Decoration movement. Her unique technique “celebrates the imagination’s role in shaping a pluralistic and malleable vision which [she] hopes invites the viewer in for extended, sensual encounters with the paintings where diverse modes of representation coexist.” The exhibition will be on view through October 19th, 2023.
