“Lord of Yrself”, a solo exhibition of paintings and drawings on paper by Elisa Flynn, opens Saturday, October 8th at The Gallery at Still River Editions in Danbury, CT with an opening reception from 2 pm – 4 pm. It is free and open to the public. The exhibition runs weekdays through December 23, 2022.

The works in the exhibition are mystical in feel, and draw the viewer into landscapes populated by strange creatures. Traces of humankind and its destructive tendencies are seeded throughout.

Elisa Flynn is a Brooklyn, NY-based musician, artist, writer, and producer. Her visual art features anthropomorphized animals that exist in open landscapes, and reflect her deep love of all things dark and gothic. Flynn creates works in mixed media, textiles, and woodcut. In the last two years, many works have been based on stanzas from Dante’s Purgatorio.

Elisa received a degree in Fine Art from SUNY Purchase in painting and printmaking, and has worked as a fine arts registrar for many years. She is a performing musician, and has exhibited her visual art in the Northeast and California. Elisa ran an artist’s co-op gallery — Gallery Thirteen — with a group of 6 other artists, in Danbury, CT in the late 1990’s. From 2012 to 2020 she produced the music and spoken word series Tripeg Lobo, in Brooklyn, NY and New Haven, CT.

Regular gallery hours are 8:30 am - 5 pm Monday through Friday (closed holidays: October 10th, November 24th-25th).
