Of Light and Shadow
A solo exhibition by Artist Martina Loncar
Patricia Barland Gallery I April 29 – May 27, 2025
Reception: May 22, 2025 6 - 8 pm
Of Light and Shadow captures the hidden magic of forests while also inviting viewers to reflect on their own relationships and support systems. At the core of Loncar’s art practice lies a fascination with trees. Her large-scale drawings and collages are inspired by recent discoveries about tree life, including their ability to smell, taste, touch, sense danger, and communicate with one another. In Of Light and Shadow, she specifically focuses on the quiet interdependency of root systems, using them as a model for how humans may better support one another through times of hardship or change. The anthropomorphic roots in her collages even resemble human hands, transporting viewers directly into the work. Together, these pieces explore a broader theme of community and emphasize how individuals can come together to care for one another.
