Gladstone is pleased to present a series of new paintings by Rachel Rose. Inspired by the metaphorical coding of nature in devotional paintings illustrating the flight of the holy family to Egypt, Rose continues to probe issues of maternal protection and displacement. Here the artist addresses the major symbols typically central to depictions of this biblical allegory: still water, ibis, stone, the forest's edge, and the moon. Furthering her interest in how images can act as a scaffold to our belief systems, these works suggest an intrinsic relationship between land, history and fantasy.
