PARADICE PALASE is pleased to present our summer online exhibition Perfect, a group show of artworks by four women artists and current members in our network. Titled from an included piece by Sarah Stolar, this presentation centers the emotionally charged through-lines of anxiety, grief, longing and worry, and the dissociative ways we combat, cope, and accept these trying truths surrounding daily life.

Meet the artists
Noémie Jennifer Bonnet is a French-born artist, writer and secret poet based in the Hudson Valley in New York. Her multidisciplinary practice is premised on the idea that the contemplation of mortality can foster life-affirming redirections beyond the self. She has shown her work with Flux Factory, Hauser & Wirth, and White Columns, among others, and has permanent public murals in three locations in Providence, Rhode Island. She is the creator of "Conservation Lab," a weekly column on art conservation published by Vice in 2016. She holds a BA from Brown University and an MFA from CUNY Hunter College. She lives with her partner and countless plants in Newburgh, NY, in an old house at the epicenter of an unsolved 19th century murder mystery.
Kristen Heritage is a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist. Working predominantly in acrylic paint and machine embroidery, Heritage’s work takes an irreverent yet sensitive lens to the anxieties and preoccupations of everyday life. Heritage draws inspiration from the narrative conventions and playful visual language of medieval manuscript painting, as well as social realism’s attentive study of the fabric of the mundane. Heritage received a BFA in Fibers with a minor in Art History from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Heritage has attended the ChaNorth Artist Residency in New York’s Hudson Valley, and 33 Officina Creativa residency in Toffia, Italy, has exhibited work in group shows in New York City and Savannah, Georgia and is a recipient of a New York City Artist Corps grant.
Lisa Saeboe is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Her work synthesizes mysticism, sexuality, and the natural world. Saeboe explores themes of feminine power and our divine connection to our ecological sphere, which often express themselves through alchemically-realized depictions of self-transformation. Her works on paper often feel like concretized rituals, as she creates textile backgrounds using watercolor or natural dyes from found plant matter. Ghostly impressions of blossoms and leaves from her lived environment serve as a grounding force beneath her bold and intricate graphite drawings. Born and raised in Oslo, Norway, Saeboe graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2015. Most recently, she exhibited at the SVA Flatiron Project Space in a two-person exhibition with her longtime collaborator Kate Jones. In 2019, she traveled to Iceland to direct her debut experimental film “Night of the Tilberi,” as part of the NES Artist Residency.
Sarah Stolar is an interdisciplinary artist investigating the female psychological narrative. Common threads in her work include loss of innocence, sexuality, and death. Grounded in large-scale figurative painting, her work also incorporates text and technology in installations, film, video, and performance art. Her current project, The Grief Club, uses dark humor to explore the emotions of grief. Sarah holds an MFA in New Genres from the San Francisco Art Institute; has exhibited internationally with solo shows at the New Mexico Museum of Art, Harwood Museum of Art, and BGMoCA in Montevideo, Uruguay; is an award-winning filmmaker, including Best Experimental Film at Synergy Film Festival, NYC; and is currently the Chair of the Department of Fine Arts, Film and Digital Media at UNM-Taos.
