About the Work
This new edition by Alison Blickle consists of 25 etchings on Arches Cover 150 gsm paper, with 5 of the works hand-finished by the artist using watercolor. Based on her current series of oil paintings, the work envisions a future where nature as we know it no longer exists. In this imagined world, people can only experience a transcendent connection to the natural world through a form of virtual reality.
The figures in Blickle’s work serve as avatars, portrayed in moments of spiritual bliss within idealized, artificial landscapes. Through this exploration, the artist touches on deeper themes of longing—for connection, for something larger than ourselves—and reflects on how elusive authentic connection has become in the modern world.
With a delicate balance of narrative and symbolism, this edition invites viewers to consider their own relationship with nature and the pursuit of meaningful, transcendent experiences in an increasingly digital and fragmented society.
