Cassie Marie Edwards: Figurine II/ Paintings
@ Aron Packer Projects at Chicago Gallery News
213 W Institute Pl, Suite 309, Chicago, IL 60610
Opening Friday, September 8th, from 5PM - 8PM
On view through Friday, October 20th
Cassie’s work can be forward and cartoonish on first viewing. She’s been obsessed with figurines since she was young. The compelling thing about her work is how she decides to paint these ephemeral porcelain sculptures. They are a blur between painting a still life of a single object and extracting out a portrait at the same time. Of course these Tchotkes don’t have a beating heart… but in a way our culture gives them one. Cassie is looking for that beating heart, through light, form, and abstraction, putting forth her fresh visual observation upon her tiny little friends. Cassie Marie Edwards is a Painter and Educator based in Oshkosh, WI.
