Paula Bullwinkle & Libby Wadsworth - New Members Show
A figurative painter immersed in the absurdist stories she invents, Paula Bullwinke takes viewers on narrative journeys inspired by her own experiences. In Bullwinkel’s latest series, women, children, and animals are infused with a pervasive sense of mystery, where unknown events and relationships are suggested, and curious dynamics evade the mundane. At its core, Libby Wadsworth’s work explores intersections between visual and verbal language systems. Wadsworth asks us to examine how these systems of representation shape and frame our perceptions and understandings.
Carol Benson - Peregrinations
In her new exhibition, Peregrinations, Carol Benson transforms her characteristically playful abstractions into disquieting explorations of cultural dissonance. Telegraphing feelings of physical and spiritual dissociation, Benson engages with political turmoil in large format compositions of stark grayscale. Drawing on her previous pandemic work, Benson expresses a deep uncertainty as emergent shapes form and dissolve in a static of information. As we follow Benson on her wanderings, Peregrinations’ aesthetic speaks the language of interlocking collapse.
