Alchemy
Erik Otto
Opening Thursday May 26th 5-9pm
Appointments through June 23rd
Heron Arts is pleased to announce the solo exhibition Alchemy from Bay Area born and raised, New York-based artist Erik Otto. Alchemy combines Erik Otto’s curiosity of materials, his experience with grief, and the transformative nature of the spiritual and natural worlds. The opening reception for Alchemy is Thursday, May 26th, 2022 from 5-9 pm. It is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on view to the public until June 23rd by appointment only.
The new collection by New York-based artist Erik Otto explores themes of transformation and regeneration. The collection moves through the stages of grief the artist has personally experienced over the last year, exploring the metamorphic states of being that were brought to bear. Mortality and vitality are in tandem, as color and form take shape together onto the surface. Inner conflict is brought to the fore in a portrayal of the difficult beauty that is life.
Alchemy is a slight departure from Otto’s previous works, often centered around resolution and stillness. This collection focuses on what happens as the dust settles from turbulent times, a rediscovery of oneself and an intentional effort to seek peace from within. For Otto, this work is a release, a grievance, a shedding, and a movement needed for renewal. Shifting from his signature circular motif as the central focus, the artist aims to create movement which emphasizes a journey of transformation. Evolving states of being captured in atmospheric landscapes poetically portray a feeling of letting go and an energy that is released when we accept what we can’t control.
