Sarah Stone's paintings, Selected Works from the Reliquarium Collection, invite the viewer to re-evaluate contemporary images found in today's cultures. Using pop culture, religion, mythology and folk art as reference points, Stone's series portrays objects from these sources as icons, regardless of their original significance. Ranging from the Venus of Willendorf to a Gucci shoe, Stone depicts her re-imagined symbols using centralized compositions, bold colors and decorative patterns, adding a humours dimension to the weighty nautre of iconography.
Sarah Stone is a Minnesota artist. She received her B.F.A from the University of Minnesota, Duluth and recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison with her M.F.A. She is currently working in Madison, Wisconsin.
All events are free and open to the public.
