Shaped by mysticism and flecked in gold, travel deep into the creative spirit of each painting and join Modem Eden Gallery in celebration of Stephanie Law’s solo exhibition, “Verdance”.
Woody and majestic, the tree spirits of the forest bend and sway through all of Mother Nature’s elements, housing not only our precious wildlife but fables as old as time. Through thunderstorms and misty moonlight, morning sunrise and summer sunsets, every leaf imprints a tale for us to discover, while every ring marks another year of growth. Found and photographed, adorned and lived in…trees are a remarkable importance in our natural world, full of character and value. Stephanie Law expands upon their hallowed presence in her latest body of work, Verdance, opening this weekend at Modern Eden Gallery. View available inventory by visiting the gallery website.
Modern Eden Gallery proudly presents the second major solo exhibition from Bay Area painter and illustrator, Stephanie Law. Stephanie Law’s Undying Tales series has been an ongoing project for the past five years, depicting endangered species from around the world, accompanied by the myths, legends, and folklore of the regions. The reflection of the living world in the human psyche is presented as a rich tapestry of spirit and enchantment, elevating the earthy mundane to divinity and underscoring how entwined we are with the natural world. Verdance draws from Undying Tales, focusing specifically on the trees from the series and the ecosystems in which they play critical roles.
Throughout human history, trees have inspired with their monolithic presence and provided metaphors for sacred realms. They have given shelter and gifts of their essence whose properties were then explained such that the knowledge could be passed along embedded within the memorable strains of song or tale. This series of paintings is an invitation to dance with the artist under the boughs of green giants: Sunlight and shadow, loam and leaf, threaded through with the stories they inspire.
