Daniel Brice “Once, in Utopia” and Suzanne Laura Kammin “Magic Show”

Kathryn Markel Fine Arts

This event has ended.

The dichotomy of Julian Jackson’s work is rooted in his fascination with the intangible and his appreciation for architectural structure. With his paintings in “Once, in Utopia,” he explores light, color, and atmosphere, but they are grounded by underlying formal structure, careful composition, and a tension between spatial relationships. His latest paintings take ambiguous references to nature and portray them in painterly abstraction.

Suzanne Laura Kammin’s paintings are informed by Buddhist emptiness teachings; nothing has inherent existence. Everything exists because it is dependent on its parts, external causes and conditions, and the mind. In “Magic Show,” the elements of her paintings, too, rely on their interconnectedness. Distinct forms, layers, and colors may vie for prominence, but ultimately no one piece is more important than the other.
