Reception: Wednesday, November 8, 4:00–7:00 p.m.

“Heatless Light” engages two distinct bodies of work by Chicago painter Jackie Kazarian and alludes to the clarity of looking back at something without the ‘heat’ or turbulence of a specific moment.
During the pandemic, Kazarian embraced her own isolation in the studio and the impossible social upheaval outside it by inviting doubt and uncertainty to permeate her studio practice. The result was a body of small paintings and works on paper mapping ambiguous spaces and exploring the textured blues of night and the cool, heatless, fluorescent streetlights. Gathered together, these fits and starts trace a tumultuous moment in time and ricochet with the vibrant, colorful paintings that followed. The newer paintings are sweeping panoramic gestures projecting onto infinite space, and those passages stacked with nuance suggest renewed vitality and engagement.
