New oil paintings of present-day disasters—wildfires, bombings, a drone strike on an oil refinery—painted in the language of art-historical still life.
The title, French for still life (literally “dead nature”), frames new oil paintings of present-day destruction: wildfires in Los Angeles, explosions and bombings in Iran, Gaza and Venezuela, a Ukrainian drone strike on the Tuapse oil refinery and a tropical island in flames. Heffernan paints each disaster through the conventions of art history.
Based in Brooklyn, she has been represented by the gallery since 2005 and teaches fine arts at Montclair State University.
