A Review of Mindscapes Exhibition by artist Manlio Manvati

It is from matter that Kristin Joyce Stevenson extracts the spirit and breath of life. It is not the succession of Soutine's or Rouault's intense plunging of color, but a more romantic application, from which fleeting nostaligic and historical notes emerge in lines that come apart.

Stevenson's sensitivity is nurtured with historical and cultural ambition. Between reality and abstraction, her colors flee the weight of matter and reassemble to flee again, loaded with the same existential duality that characterizes human beings. Stevenson is the kind of artist that creates and historicizes contemporary existentialism.

Successful opening of Mindscapes exhibit

A big Thank You to all those who helped prepare for the opening of my Mindscapes exhibit, and especially to all who came and allowed themselves to be moved by what they saw. The opening day was more successful than I had hoped for!

Mindscapes will run throughout the month of May. I will be on hand to answer questions every Saturday or by appointment. Please do come and see the pieces in person--photos cannot capture everything!
