Chroma Botanica: Ellie Irons & Visual Art alumna and former VCFA board member Linda Stillman
“Chroma Botanica: Ellie Irons & Linda Stillman” showcases the work of two artists who use natural plant pigments in their artwork to explore wild and cultivated environments, as well as the complex relationships between people and plants.
The show includes the artists’ ongoing personal work, as well as new companion pieces that utilize plant life and research gathered in New York City parks and public spaces over the past year. The exhibition is on view at the Arsenal Gallery in Central Park from April 27 through June 15, 2016.
