Stephanie Frostad, “News of the World”

Stephanie J. Frostad’s latest work will be on view in the Mungas/Volk Gallery through Feb. 4. In “News of the World,” Frostad visits narratives that include Norse mythology, Biblical symbols and references to contemporary issues. Most of these works focus on ravens and the natural world and in many, human subjects appear in the background of her detailed paintings, flushing out the meaning of the individual work. A series of sketches, in pencil, inkwash and paint invite the viewer to look more closely at the artist’s process.
Also on display in November at the Square: “Powwows & Rodeos: Communities at Play,” featuring photographs by Harry Lee Harpster Jr., through Dec. 15; the Art Auction After Sale, featuring a group of 15 works by 13 artists, through Dec. 1; “Cottonwoods and Color: Edd Ender’s West,” featuring 14 large oil paintings by the Livingston artist, through March 25; and “Spectacles, Tophats and Ties,” a display of prints by David Driesbach, through Jan. 15.
