In her debut museum solo exhibition, Conundrums, NYC artist Alicia Adamerovich presents paintings, sculptures, and works on paper “that reveal a futuristic natural world” according to the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA), which will display her work through Oct. 20.
“Growing up near the forests of Pennsylvania with a carpenter father and biologist mother, Adamerovich developed a deep curiosity about and relationship with nature,” the museum explained in an announcement. “Her paintings play with space in strange and sincere ways: Shadows carve out hills and valleys across surfaces; mysterious light sources emerge, and sculptural elements such as wax, pumice, and sand build paintings into three-dimensional spaces.”
According to Emma Saperstein, SLOMA’s chief curator, “We are thrilled to present Alicia Adamerovich’s debut museum exhibition at SLOMA. Conundrums is a remarkable body of work that beautifully captures the strangeness and wonder of the natural world. Adamerovich’s ability to hold mystery and meaning in the same breath makes this an exhibition that will stay with visitors long after they leave.”
SLOMA is located at 1010 Broad St. and is open Thursday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call the museum at (805) 543-8562. Learn more at sloma.org. ∆
