Shira Toren’s solo show “Eternal Return” opens with an Artist’s Reception on Saturday, December 5, 6-8pm at Cross Contemporary Art, Saugerties, NY.
Shira Toren’s solo show “Eternal Return” is an exhibit of abstract paintings and drawings that refer to vast patterns and dimensional space. Painted on plaster substrates applied to canvas, these luminous images serve as a spiritual template for the real world. Ms. Toren uses the velocity of twining, travelling or precipitating marks to create universes that are at once vast and minute. The same way many cells make up a living organism, stars create the constellations and human populations collectively make history, Shira Toren’s artwork refers to the endless consolidation of the many into the one.
Shira Toren “Eternal Return” is on view from November 28th- December 27th with a reception for the artist on Sat. Dec 5, 6-8pm
