STEPHANIE SERPICK: NEW PAINTINGS

Stephanie Serpicks' paintings explore themes of contemplation, isolation, and renewal. The unifying challenges to physical and mental health are a shared experience from which to consider grief, the processing of all types of loss, and eventual healing. The paintings pull the viewer close and share a moment - the glimpse of light through a blowing curtain, rumpled sheets on a bed, shadows of the unknown through transparent gauze, hints of soft darkness. The sense of motion and wonder brings the paintings to life - are we waking from a dream? Emerging from a difficult time? Seeing the sunrise on a new day? There is comfort and hope rising from the shadows.
