About the Artist:
Serena Perrone is a multi-disciplinary artist who employs various techniques (primarily printmaking and photography) to reflect on personal mythologies, examine differing forms of nostalgia, recount stories of destruction, regeneration, transition, enchantment and disenchantment, and capture images of the synchronistic and uncanny ways that magic and wonder are encountered in liminal spaces. Her narrative impulse and tendency toward ambivalent, theatrical scenes include the use of nature and architecture as framing devices resulting in work that references the pre-cinema, puppet shows, problems of perception and illusion, the hidden and 'almost-seen', and vernacular storytelling through layered pieces that explore the poetics and the perils of place.
Serena splits her time between Italy and the United States. Her work is represented by Cade Tompkins Projects in Providence.
