Rosalind Tallmadge produced her new body of work during the cold, dark winter months and the paintings are a reflection of her response to that experience. "Working almost entirely during night hours, I felt the enclosed quality of darkness seeping not just into my body but also onto the canvases. Night becomes a metaphor for paint itself- a raw earth that is alchemically transmuted into space and experience." Kim McCarty is a Los Angeles based painter known for her luminous watercolors. She invites us for a "studio visit" to view a recent group of works of her favorite subjects.

Group show featuring William Irving Singer, Lauren Kalman, and Kat Burdine. "THEM" is loosely framed around portraiture, commonly defined as a representation or likeness of a specific individual, however it holds the ability to do so much more. The exhibiting artists invite us to delve past the surface into the intimacies, idiosyncrasies, and histories that lie beneath. Obscured or displaced from its traditional context, the presented forms create a new dialogue that leads us back to ourselves through found connections. Whether the subject or object, looking or being looked at, we are THEM.
