Her Space is a group exhibition that focuses on three lines of visual inquiry: the tensions between abstraction and figuration, colors and their spectrum of moods, and responses to architecture in the picture plane and beyond. The exhibition brings together a cadre of Chicago-based artists who work in different disciplines but share commonalities in these converging aesthetic interests.
Her Space spans painting, drawing, sculpture, and other media that push the limits of the pictorial surface, highlighting approaches to expressive depictions that are referential or literal, a variety of color interactions, and the poetics of space. Through their own abstracted vocabularies, the artists re-present another reality or context to create a fluid spatial experience through color or scale that reminds the viewer of the power that artistic thinking holds. We live in environments of our own construction and, by extension, art is a constructed environment that collapses the psychic power of the picture plane and the interiority of the artist. Each work represents a galaxy of its own, while the exhibition as a whole suffuses emotions and the metaphysics conveyed through a universe of internal and external worlds.
Join us for the Her Space Artist Talk on Sunday November 2nd, 12-1 pm.
Her Space is co-curated by Holly Holmes and Teresa Silva.
