Lush and ethereal

Commissioned by Boston Properties and curated and produced by Now +There, Ambrosia was on view at the Prudential Center from March through August 2021. For the first time with Ambrosia, Cambridge, MA-based artist Cicely Carew moved her lush, mixed-media paintings off the canvas and to astral heights. Colorful, ethereal forms sculpted of everyday materials burst throughout one of Boston’s most iconic public spaces, building not only moments of awe, but a shared experience of transformative, radical joy.
