A Condition of Light: Paintings by Gabriella Mirabelli

Saturday, January 13th - 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Croton Free Library 
 

Gabriella Mirabelli is an artist who values simplicity, space, light, and stillness. Her paintings simplify natural forms into abstract compositions. Mirabelli likens her paintings to maps and hopes that they “guide viewers…into the grounded stillness of the natural world.” From snowy woods to sleepy sunrises and through the changing seasons, Mirabelli’s paintings symbolize the transience of life and the impermanence of moments, the fleeting nature of time and experiences. The paintings are on view in the Ottinger Room at the Croton Free Library through February. Artist’s reception is Saturday, January 13, 2024, 2 – 4 pm in the Ottinger Room.
