The exhibition “Discord and Mercy” by artist Carol Heft will open at the Blue Mountain Gallery in New York City on March 26, 2024.
Human suffering and resilience is the underlining and compelling theme of this exhibition of drawings and paintings, reflecting the ongoing crisis of violence, fear, and ultimately, courage as part of the human condition. “There is no specific political agenda reflected in this body of work,” commented Heft, “the universal themes resonate in our troubled times, as they have throughout history. Interwoven in this theme is the promise of hope, born of empathy through common experience.”
Carol Heft is a New York-based artist who studied with American master Robert Brackman, became skilled at printmaking and drawing in her youth. She attended the Rhode Island School of Design before moving to New York in the late 1970s. Her eclectic range of mastery includes animated drawings, painting, collage, and both traditional and nontraditional materials and subjects.
A reception and talk by the artist will be held on Saturday, March 30, from 3 – 5 pm.
