Childs Gallery is pleased to present Annemarie Petri: Rara Avis, an exhibition revealing the rare and extraordinary talent of the Hague-based Dutch artist. The show includes prints from several of Petri’s varied imaginative series, including Natural Sciences, Atlantis, Genesis, Invisible Cities, and City and Time. Petri’s fantastical prints delve into the in-between and out-of-place, considering the interconnectivity of timelines and how we decide to approach ourselves therein.

Petri’s Natural Sciences etchings explore the world of hodgepodge curiosity cabinets, obscure museums, and esoteric studies, imagining eclectic collections of flora and fauna from a bygone age. Prints from her Atlantis series envision a submerged fantasy world at the bottom of the ocean, and her Genesis etchings depict her personal vision of the story of creation.
