"Arboreal" Exhibition
Arsenal Gallery
This event has ended.
For Arboreal, artists Barbara Andrus, Avy Claire, Nancy Manter and Adele Ursone have produced a striking variety of paintings, photographs, drawings and sculptures that rely on the shared vocabulary of trees. In visual language, alternately bold and nuanced, their independent artistic voices render a rich aesthetic tableaux. Inspired by the urban and rural forest, these works raise our awareness of our environment, its resilience, complexity and majesty.
For this exhibition in the heart of Central Park, the four artists have created new artwork inspired by one of New York City’s greatest assets–its trees. There are 5.2 million trees in New York City’s five boroughs. Approximately half of them live within the Parks system–24,000 trees in Central Park alone. Since 2007, MillionTreesNYC has planted more than 375,000 new trees in the city towards its goal of one million by 2017.
