Please join artist Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman and art critic/writer Shana Nys Dambrot for the launch of Deirdre’s new book “Into the Hazel Woods”. Following the conversation between Deirdre and Shana, there will be a book signing. The monograph features more 18 images spanning 2019-2024 and texts by Shana as well as NY-based curator and educator Dr. Kathy Battista.
In her text “Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman Metaphor and Metamorphosis” Shana Nys Dambrot wrote, “Paintings by Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman are intricate alchemical compositions balancing art historical mediums and techniques with psychological narratives, Jungian symbolism, dream logic, and flourishes of modernity. Her portraits of young women and their creature companions, and the landscapes and more ambiguous scenes in which they exist, unfold in a liminal space between metaphor and metamorphosis, loveliness and danger, in the timeless past and present tense of archetypes.”
The event is at ARTBOOK @ Hauser & Wirth (917 E 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90013) on Saturday, July 20 @ 3:00pm PDT. ARTBOOK will continue to retail the book on an ongoing basis. RSVP for the event and pre-order a signed copy at artbookstores.com, and Livestream on Instagram@artbookhwla
The book may also be purchased at the event (purchase is not necessary to attend).
