Paul Petro Contemporary Art is pleased to present the group exhibition Rusted Sky.

The title for the exhibition comes from a painting of the same name by Mélanie Rocan, evoking both a burnished sunset and tarnished stained glass. We find dichotomies throughout the exhibition and in our near future as we move along the calendar, balancing hope with caution, and restlessness with patience, while imagining what things will be like in the coming months. We like to think that Rusted Sky will help ease us through this summer of fluctuating certainties and prepare us for the fall.

Another painting in the exhibition, Carol Wainio's Divided Path, references Aesop's fable, The Tortoise and the Hare, the storyline reading like a soundtrack of the pandemic. Will slow and steady continue to win the race?
