AN APPRECIATION OF the semantic conundrums posed by the titles of Lesley Dill’s Beautiful Dirt: Ballgowns of Lightness & Dark and Deborah Kass’ feel good paintings for feel bad times can spice up one’s experience of the artists’ works collectively and individually.
PAINTING OUT LOUD is Luis Cruz Azaceta’s eighth exhibition with the gallery. The featured recent medium- and large-scale paintings and works on paper reflect the artist’s distinctive bright-colored abstraction and figuration and continue to encourage a dialogue regarding the current political climate, social injustices, war and ecocide.
John Alexander’s unique observation of nature makes up the foundation of this exhibition, the artist’s fourth with the gallery. Rooted in direct study, these works call upon the natural world for guidance and inspiration. It is, however, the soulful, inventive and spiritual side of these works that truly define them. Alexander is able to capture a raw power made possible through a deep understanding of the complexities that make up the natural world.
