Against the world

Madonna and Child(mixed media collage on paper, oil, ink, beeswax), by Lexington, Mass.-based artist Sirarpi Walzer, in the joint show “Efflorescence,’’ with Patricia Ganek, at Three Stones Gallery, Concord, Mass., through Aug. 27.

For more information, hit here.

The artist, who is also an engineer, writes on her site:

“My poetic abstractions spring both from meditations on nature and from memories that are distilled into single dramatic moments. The energetic surfaces imply an ongoing tension between freedom and containment, edging the viewer closer to that place where chaos can erupt into clarity. The color white suggests notions of purity and simplicity, and unifies the disparate objects. The deliberate juxtapositions of forms and exaggerations of color choices, provide clues to content and interpretation.’’
