Natural Oasis: The Art of Mally Khorasantchi
Now on display through September 2, 2019
Each painting and collage in this exhibition is an homage to the natural world. Mally Khorasantchi’s works are a celebration of the ever-changing landscape that surrounds us. Currents of gnarled trunks and roots, repeating patches of honeycombs, and rhythmic threads of color evoke a sense of connectedness and restoration throughout the exhibit.
