"By the Sea" Exhibition
Cristin Tierney Gallery
This event has ended.
Few things capture the feeling of summer more than a trip to the beach. To celebrate the season, the gallery has installed a group of works that engage the shoreline as a site of relaxation and contemplation. Peter Campus’ video, a wave, offers an abstracted, softened vision of the seashore as a destination for spiritual renewal and meditation. Found photographs by Simon Lee and paintings by Joe Fig evoke a nostalgic fascination with the beach, while Adam Cvijanovic’s trompe l’oeil tears apart the gallery walls, transporting the viewer to the middle of the churning ocean. New work by David Opdyke addresses humanity’s need to manipulate and imitate nature’s wonders. And finally, the vast, mysterious ecosystem of the ocean is explored in Malia Jensen’s sculpture, which takes seemingly saccharine images of sea creatures and twists them into something oddly intimate and wildly perverse.
