ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Visionary Art Collective is thrilled to announce its first in-person exhibition in NYC, The Lens Through Which We See, featuring the work of six contemporary landscape painters: Bri Custer, Colleen Gleason Shull, Julie Avisar, Ekaterina Popova, Amanda Hawkins and Sarah Boyle. Each artist captures the beauty of the natural world while conveying a deeper truth, filtering what she observes through emotion and memory. The resulting paintings are both a celebration of the land and of each artist’s interiority, providing a locus for the interplay of perceived reality and personal understanding. While deeply tied to a physical place, the work is transcendent, gesturing beyond what is seen to what is felt; through particular attention to each scene and what it evokes, the artists meld the observable universe with individual experience.
