Elizabeth Allison & Joseph Adolphe Exhibition
Bertrand Delacroix Gallery
This event has ended.
Allison is most well known for her public art installation, River Gazers, in Riverside Park South from June 2011 to June 2012. However, she demonstrates her tal ent with watercolor in her large scale works on paper in this exhibition. Allison states that she uses her paintings to “record the emotional temperature” of places she has visited that have had an effect on her. Her work unites the artistic medium with the subject as each watermark, drip and spill work together to create the surreal atmospheres that distinguish her pieces.
His first show, Toro Bravo, was a resounding success and consequently, Adolphe has returned with a selection of new oil paintings. This exhibition includes stunning female nudes, new additions to his Toro Bravo series and pastoral scenes ripe with social commentary. Adolphe’s paintings depict uncertainty, anxiety and vulnerability in the modern day. His subjects appear burdened by conflict and the weight of the world but nonetheless, they are strong, resilient characters. Their confidence and bravery give the paintings an undeniable optimism even when the subject is dark.
