Rio Abajo Rio
Lauren Napolitano
Open by appointment through May 15th
A solo exhibition by Lauren Napolitano, Rio Abajo Rio is a contemplation and exploration of how the inspirations of travel and collaboration impact one’s view of their heritage. The viewer can expect to see a variety of influences and collaborations from the artist. The exhibition will explore the impact that Napolitano's travels and collaboration have had on her art practice. Rio Abajo Rio will touch on many of the mediums the artist explores - such as painting, ceramic, sculpture, film, and installation. Process and medium are equally important as the influences and collaborations that have inspired them.

Eidolon Vessel
Lauren YS
Heron Arts welcomes Lauren YS for a solo exhibition, opening Saturday May 15th. Eidolon Vessel refers to the myriad physical vessels depicted in the artist's paintings, but also the mind and body as vessels for trans-generational storytelling. Rendered in the artist’s signature style of hyper-chroma Sci–Fi futurism and asian iconography, "Vessel" is a meditation on loss, heritage, links between women, isolation, death and identity.

Tree no. 1
Thomas Jackson
Heron Arts is pleased to announce "Tree no. 1," a new installation by Thomas Jackson. Expanding on ideas he has explored in his "Emergent Behavior" photographic series, Jackson's piece will juxtapose organic and manufactured materials to promote fresh perspectives on the complex balance between natural and manmade systems. The piece will feature a 15-foot "Sango-Kaku” (Coral Bark Japanese Maple) surrounded by floating LED grow lights and plastic take out containers. While Jackson frequently works with organic materials in outdoor settings, this will be the first time he has incorporated living flora into an indoor sculpture. The work presses the viewer not only to contemplate our dysfunctional relationship with the natural landscape, but also to envision a sustainable future in which natural and man-made systems are integrated and intertwined, and more resilient as a result. The exhibition will also feature a number of prints from the “Emergent Behavior” series.
