Sarah Beth Goncarova
explores in painting the human impact on the modern landscape. Featured in this
exhibition is her “Wake Project” series, juxtaposing imagery of
the aftermaths of major
eco-disasters against paintings of the everyday landscape, whose apparent
beauty belies deep trauma
from mankind's encroachment. While showing the severity of the human impact on the
landscape, at the same time, the paintings invite further speculation as the effects are literally
beneath the surface.
A portion of the
proceeds of sales from Sarah Beth’s “Wake Project” series benefits non-profits
supporting disaster relief and environmental clean-up.
