MFA Show - Steven Heil 4/29

Steven Heil’s current body of work is a psychological journey, encouraging the development of multiple sensations as the onlooker may become transfixed in an oscillation between awe and trepidation. The paintings function as remnants of a hostile, scarred landscape and connote a sense of loss and sadness in regards to irreparable environmental alteration, seeking to provide a space of contemplation or meditation on mortality and transcendence. These works serve as an exploration of the incomprehensible power and spirit of a wilderness devoid of human habitation and are a celebration of an illusive and enigmatic spiritual connection to place. Numina is an installation of paintings and drawings that grapple with the unknown, assume no conclusions and question our ongoing, evolving relationship with the landscape.
