This event has ended.

Horvath’s personal iconography is a mix of inspired sources as diverse as the paintings of Edward Hicks, Martin Ramirez, Antoine Watteau, and Sassetta, Medieval World maps, Etruscan funerary objects, Roman fresco painting and furniture, and the writings of D.W. Winnicott and the poetry of Wallace Stevens. Ordinary experience figures prominently: whether as glimpses captured in a rear view mirror, the little league playing fields of Brooklyn, the breaking waves on Cape Cod, or highway exit ramps under construction. Whether the points of departure constitute a poetic reference or mundane object, Horvath imbues her subject with a lyricism which transcends the original material. The imagery of her created world is eerily palpable without ever being literal. This “third space,” as she has called it, is “an intermediate territory distinct from either inner or outer worlds.”
