Maria Stabio's second solo show at Kristen Lorello

Maria Stabio's second solo exhibition is currently on display at the Kristen Lorello gallery in New York, showcasing her canvas paintings that highlight Philippine culture and landscapes through a diasporic perspective. The exhibition spans two primary rooms, with a viewing area dedicated to 'Local Color,' a collective showcase featuring six works by six artists, including Stabio, who regularly convene to explore the concept of color. Stabio’s artwork merges cropped figurative elements, landscapes, and atmospheric features with vibrant hues and diverse patterns, reflecting her joy in discovering cultural identity through travel, research, and personal connections. Originally from San Francisco, she studied in Boston and New York, and now resides in northeastern Pennsylvania, frequently visiting the Philippines.
