Childs Gallery is pleased to present Annemarie Petri: Rara Avis, an exhibition revealing the rare and extraordinary talent of the Hague-based Dutch artist. The show includes prints from several of Petri's series. Her Natural Sciences etchings explore the world of hodgepodge curiosity cabinets, obscure museums, and esoteric studies, imagining eclectic collections of flora and fauna from a bygone age. Prints from her Atlantis series envision a fantasy world at the bottom of the ocean, while her Genesis etchings depict her personal vision of the story of creation. The exhibition also includes examples of Petri’s City and Time monoprints. These unique works explore continuous change and the passage of time, using multiple etching plates to layer and intertwine images of the past, present, and future.
Petri’s fantastical prints delve into the in-between and out-of-place, considering the interconnectivity of timelines and how we decide to approach ourselves therein. Annemarie Petri: Rara Avis will be on view in our upstairs print department April 18 through June 1, 2025.
