Leaf in the Air : February 18 - April 3, 2015

The catalogue to accompany the solo exhibition by Shanghai based artist Barbara Edelstein, at Christian Duvernois Gallery. The interface of nature, art and contemporary life serves as the foundation for Barbara Edelstein's work. Edelstein brings to focus often overlooked elements of the natural world, and uses her various media as transformative devices. From the catalog essay by Gloria Orenstein: “Barbara Edelstein.. inspires us to re-imaging and revisit the Garden. We suddenly realize that we are not only perceiving the trees and the leaves in their material solidity, but we are also see in their anima, the invisible dimension of the life-force that flows through everything… (she) aspires to awaken our desire to put an end to the destruction of the Earth”
