Mavin Staub Ambrose

The Persistence of Form
March 25 - April 15, 2008

Reception: Thursday March 27, 2008 6-8 PM

Press Release

Mavin Staub Ambrose’s ethereal, enigmatic paintings engage the viewer’s imagination on several levels. Ambrose’s work tells a story, yet a story without chronology, as if the viewer has stumbled into an intensely emotional moment in the middle of a scene. She states, “I try to evoke a feeling of mystery and magic in my work. Much of my focus is on female imagery because I am so often impressed by the strength and mysticism of my female friends and relatives, and I feel that it needs to be visually recorded.” Perhaps more than other visual artists, Ambrose’s work offers a cathartic feeling. Her muted tones and sensuous lines allow for expansion of thought, for “breathing room,” in her paintings. Ambrose challenges her viewer’s to dig deep into their imaginations and their own personal history to bring meaning and understanding to these emotionally charged works.

Mavin Staub Ambrose has exhibited her work widely throughout New York and North Carolina. She lives and works in Elmira, NY
