Maya Frodeman Gallery is pleased to present In the Expanse of the Celestial, a solo exhibition of work by artist Russell Crotty, on view February 8th through March 24th, 2024. An artist reception will be held on Thursday, February 8th, from 5 to 7 pm. All are welcome.
In the Expanse of the Celestial presents a selection of drawings and sculpture which capture of the sublime of the night sky against the backdrop of untamed landscapes. This exhibition includes Crotty’s paper-coated suspended globes, as well as large-scale panoramas, a newer endeavor and conceptual twist in Crotty’s continued preoccupation to chronicle an idiosyncratic commentary on astronomy, landscape, and the natural and manmade world. Like Crotty’s past work, this body of work is also a part of Crotty’s longtime project of challenging the preconceptions of drawing as primary medium in exploring and expanding the notion of “works on paper.”
