Add Review/Comment

Peregrine Gallery is pleased to present "Earth Stories", a solo exhibition by artist Michal Truelen. The exhibition runs from July, 9th, 2012 - August 30th, 2012 at 150 Waterman St #6, Providence RI. Please come out for the opening reception July 19th from 6-8pm to meet the artist. Peregrine Gallery is pleased to be part of Providence Gallery Night and the reception coincides with the July gallery night festivities.

Truelsen's paper bas reliefs - layers of paper, cut, glued and coated with color and acrylic medium - are created from her interest in topographical maps of the earth. Her work inspires viewers to pay a fresh kind of attention to the environment they live in by providing a masterfully colored giant's eye view of some very familiar places. Included in this show are pieces based on areas of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. However, seen from such perspective each location takes on a new identity as patterns emerge that echo cells, blossoms and luminous oil stains.

Truelsen has been a studio artist for more than twenty years, working in printmaking, drawing, collage, and mixed media. Her work has been shown in galleries around this country and in Italy. She was twice been Artist-in-Residence with the University of Georgia Studies Abroad program in Cortona, Tuscany, and had a solo show in Cortona, sponsored by the city, in May 2004. She currently lives and works in Lowell, MA.
