La Mére/Idylle

June 1, 2017 - June 30, 2017

We often live in a world of carefully assembled identities and projections. We smile and tell certain stories in certain ways.

Our interior realities can be more challenging (and hold so much more potential), should we have the opportunity to examine and give them weight and form.

La Mére/Idyll is a series of paintings that challenge our idyllic tropes of mothers, women and the environments we situate them in. The challenge is direct in some paintings and lurking behind the mundane subject matter of others. Mother and children squinting in the light.  Sons look over their shoulder or staring past us.

Meet the Artist: Reception Saturday June 3rd 2 to 4pm.
