Stephen D’Onofrio: The Arborist

April 09 - May 14,2022

From Galleri Urbane: "Galleri Urbane is pleased to announce Stephen D’Onofrio: the Arborist, the fourth solo exhibition by the Philadelphia-based artist. After a successful season showing at the Untitled Miami and Spring Break New York fairs, D’Onofrio returns to Galleri Urbane with a highly anticipated body of new work. Here, the botanical subjects that have peppered D’Onofrio’s canvases in the past are arranged into representational depictions of flora seated in large porcelain pots. The artist’s investigations in the canon of Europe's illustration masters, such as Basilius Besler’s (1561–1629) botanical encyclopedia Florilegium and Giovanna Garzoni’s (1600–1670) work, have been reconsidered as new compositions which allude to the legacy of botanical illustration while remaining mindful that images become kitsch with age."
