Alexis Kuhr "Recent Work"
M55 Art
This event has ended.
M55 Art gallery presents the solo exhibition of recent work by Alexis Kuhr
In a series of large-scale, mixed-media works on canvas, Kuhr explores the possibilities of mark, space and surface. Beginning with the basic elements of introductory perspective, she intuitively realigns planes—arriving at spaces that both advance and retreat to produce a realm of disquieting spatial ambiguity. Kuhr describes her process as producing “new structures that create visual interest,” through “slight visual disruptions that emerge out of irregular geometries.” The overall impact is one of contemplative, measured activity.
