Clare Grill "The Forest for the Trees"
Sloan Fine Art
This event has ended.
Through exquisite paint manipulation that includes transparent layering, aggressive sanding and delicate impasto, Clare Grill executes romantic, filmy images that evoke memories of beliefs and stories handed down, held dearly, or sadly lost through the years. Rendered in a color palette that wavers between washed-out and burnt-in, Grill's paintings allude to the confusion, fear, obedience, and anxiety attached to discovering the world we inherit and the histories we are part of. "In The Forest for the Trees," Grill encourages the viewer to see what’s familiar in all its complexity.
