LANSDALE, PA — This May, the 365 Foundation Gallery is set to host a captivating exhibition featuring the work of Stephanie Slate, an artist celebrated for her innovative fusion of historical art techniques with modern themes. From May 3rd to May 24th, art lovers will have the unique opportunity to explore Slate’s compelling pieces at 305 W. Main Street, Lansdale.
Slate, renowned for her distinctive approach to art, comes from a lineage steeped in traditional arts and crafts. Yet, she steps boldly away from her roots to redefine historical art forms, integrating them with contemporary subjects. Through her mastery of alternative photographic processes and printmaking techniques, such as cyanotype and photogravure, Slate weaves together narratives that confront and explore profound themes like loss, mortality, and the enigmatic nature of the afterlife.
Her exhibition promises not only to showcase her exceptional talents but also to challenge viewers’ perceptions of traditional art forms, demonstrating their enduring relevance and potential for innovation. Natalie Venezia, Executive Director of the 365 Foundation, commends Slate’s artistic vision, stating, “Stephanie Slate’s work is a testament to the evolving dialogue between past and present in the artistic world. Her ability to preserve the integrity of historical methods while applying them to explore deep, often dark themes, bridges generations and sparks conversation.”
Slate’s artistic influence has already made waves in the international art scene, with her piece ‘The Hollowing’ clinching the grand prize at the prestigious Living Image exhibition. Anticipation grows as she prepares to expand her reach, with forthcoming exhibitions at the Center of Contemporary Printmaking and a special showcase curated by the Halide Project.
The 365 Foundation Gallery invites you to immerse yourself in Stephanie Slate’s art, which pays homage to tradition while fearlessly pushing the boundaries of expression and form. Slate’s exhibition is more than a display of breathtaking artwork; it is an invitation to witness the evolution of art through the lens of an artist who dares to imagine and redefine the canvas of history.
