Serena Carone, That Which I See (Ce Que Je Vois)

Serena Carone, That Which I See (Ce Que Je Vois)
The first U.S. presentation of Parisian sculptor Serena Carone is sure to be a surrealist experience set on an almost nightmarish plain. "Desire and death, innocence and violence, beauty and bestiality" are just some of the themes that intertwine in the artist's idiosyncratic fantasms, from walls with eyes and clusters of porcelain bats, to humanoid parakeets trapped in a marital cage. Drawing from the classic techniques of Roman monuments and the extravagance of Baroque saints, Carone takes sculptural tradition and turns it into a modern mode of expression that's certainly all her own.
