Square One Gallery is proud to present "Lemons to Olives" , a solo exhibition by artist Erika Lee Sears. 

 

“Lemons to Olives” by Erika Lee Sears is a vibrant exploration of life’s tender transitions. Through her expressive, color-rich paintings, Sears captures the beauty in everyday objects and the emotional landscapes they reflect. The show invites viewers to consider growth, change, and the quiet poetry found in domestic moments. Each piece feels intimate yet universal, turning the ordinary into something deeply resonant.

 

Known for her intimate oil depictions of 21st century everyday life and objects, Sears transforms the mundane and ordinary into fascinating and emotional works through her unique textures, point of view perspective, and mastery of lighting. Offering a peek at how the unremarkable can be extraordinary, her still life and figurative works act as a mechanism to savor and celebrate passing moments in time while creating a space to appreciate bygone experiences that may often be overlooked and lost.
