In his first solo show in Milwaukee since 2003, Fred Stonehouse explores the theme of the marsh as metaphor for his creative process. Beautifully executed, Stonehouse's work expresses his personal psychology and dreamlike vision as influenced by Renaissance painting, folklore, magic realism, and the unseen mysteries which abound in the Horicon Marsh near his home. Fantastical figures and animals in mysterious landscapes suggest the marsh is a place where boundaries are blurred and the unseen is as important as the visible. New work including paintings and works on paper will be included in this major exhibition.
