In a serenely poetic follow-up to his 2010 debut with the Callan Comtemporary gallery, Mitchell Lonas presents Undercurrents, a suite of visually stunning works on incised aluminum panel.
The pieces incorporate three interrelated motifs—root systems, bird nests, and floating feathers—which Lonas, using customized tools, incises into painted aluminum surfaces.
“The work in this show, is about a continuing connection to nature and family. It’s about putting down roots, uprooting, and knowing we have a network, even if we can’t see it, that is constantly nourishing not only our bodies, but also our spirits.”
