Mary Ann Strandell, 60x48",oil on canvas, 2019
"The Arc Line", exhibition brings together paintings and 3D lenticular media that culls into motion the paradoxical nature of meaning and translation. Strandell's paintings denote certain architectural wonders, sourced from early modernism design and museums, along with notable NYC architecture, including the three-story @Apple staircase in Chelsea, and Hudson Yard construction sites. The Arc Line exhibition also takes on new work from her series, The Conversation, a redux of the 1970’s interiors. These are 3D lenticular works that interweaves vignettes of referential objects denoting time (spudnik lantern, cocktail hour, museum porcelains, and kitsch objects) with various iconic view of the designed sunken couches. The Arc Line also showcases 3d lenticular works from "The Cherry Stairs” series, a confluence of static painted modernist interiors with vignettes of nature and folly, redrawn from European Chinoserie objects. Exhibition is a duo-platform between the two spaces, Juliette Yuan&Associates, on the Upper East Side, and Suite 303 Projects in Chelsea’s art district.

Mary Ann Strandell, "Conversation Pit II", Lenticular Media, 2019
21 Jun 2019 _ Afflatus _ 5-50 Gallery _ Reviewed by Elizabeth Johnson
Afflatus, or
divine inspiration, gathers a score of current artists who reuse
classical stories or old master techniques, making the point that art
history unifies taste broadly, organically, and randomly.
The work sorts
into four categories, and several artists qualify for more than one.
Alex Melamid, Suzanne Unrein, Janice Nowinski, Barbara Friedman, Sherie
Franssen, Deborah Brown, and Kyle Staver convey Old Master rigor with
morphing and flourishing style. Michael Mapes, Amy Hill, and Julie
Heffernan stretch time by luxuriating in prodigious detail. Mary Ann
Strandell, Sydney Cash, and Michael Rees separate from the subject to
create space. And Betty Tompkins, Linda Griggs, Kathleen Gilje,
Alexander Gorlizki, Charles Browning, Yonadav Greenwood, and Ruth Marten
devise tangential narratives through reversal or replacement.
Like burgeoning
nature, "Afflatus" evades consummation. Tasked with reinventing the
tree, the artists start with the leaves, forget the trunk and roots, and
dazzle with bits and pieces.
