‘Petrichor’Group Show: San Francisco, CA

Forever a leaky lip, 2022, acrylic, oil stick, glitter paint on canvas, 24”x18”

Marrow Gallery presents Petrichor, a group exhibition featuring Deborah Brown, Travis Collinson, Dana Sherwood, and Amber Jean Young. The exhibition brings together a group of artists working across genres that ask us to consider our varied responses to nature’s sights, sounds, smells and feelings.

Petrichor presents a dichotomy of work; the mythical and the mystical, the everyday and the unusual, destruction/decay, rebuilding, and envisioning, and the impractical and the standard. The earth after it rains. The inspiration that is found in routine; A daily walk that shifts our vision so we never see the same sight twice. A fantasy world of fables and stories that ground us in the world around us and give us history; without which we have no meaning. A representation of beauty and what it was or is; and how that evolves and changes our ideals and understanding. All of these, are tied to the smell of the earth after it rains. All of these ideas are represented in the varied works in the show, each artist offering a different perspective of the earth we are all grounded to.

The exhibition runs May 3 - June 3.
