Mary Lindstrom - Numinous Origins

ARTIST MARY LINDSTROM OPENS AT SWAMPSPACE 


NUMINOUS ORIGINS by Mary Lindstrom 

Opening Reception: Thursday October 17, 2024  7-10pm

October 17 - November 8


To launch the 2024 cultural season, Swampspace presents the premier solo exhibition of  Mary Lindstrom NUMINOUS ORIGINS - Animism in the Age of Information. 


This first early career survey features graphite drawings and paintings by first generation Russo-American artist working in Miami. Lindstrom’s dynamic compositions are intuitively guided by automatism inspired by the Desert Transcendental Painting Group of the 19 40’s  from Taos, NM and Santa Fe, AZ.  Mary energetically composes scintillating imagery of the everyday world. She steers the viewer to unknown realms loaded with cascading luminescent ornamentations in biomorphic scapes.  Ultimately, Mary’s message is one of signifying reverence for life affirming sacredness of humanity. 


About the Artist: Mary Lindstrom born 1999 immigrated from Russia where she attended a state-run municipal art academy focused on traditional academic techniques and folk art. Upon moving to America she was enrolled in Design Architecture Senior High school in Miami. Upon graduation Mary moved to NYC where she earned her BFA in 3D Animation and VFX from the School of Visual Arts. More recently Lindstrom has traveled abroad to artist residencies in Loire Valley in France, and in Napoli, Italy. 

Swampspace Gallery was founded in 2008 in the Miami Design District as an alternative art space presenting varied cultural events for the novice and seasoned art enthusiasts.
