Ben McLaughlin, Songbirds, 2020, oil on panel, 8 1/4 x 11 5/8 inches |
|
|
Ben McLaughlin paints scenes from memory. They could be a remembered still from a film, or an image from a magazine, book or travel brochure he once saw. Maybe an event he witnessed or a place he actually visited. They’re records of strange, unexplained moments that are hauntingly evocative. So much so, in fact, they often feel as if they might be your own recollections. Memory is tricky business: at the same time persistent and unstable. What is remembered and what do we invent? McLaughlin’s prowess is his ability to depict images that conjure associations and transport us a place that feels true… whether it is real or imagined. |

In a post-colonial, global society, identity — racial, cultural or gender — is no longer easily defined, as people reject traditional delineations. Rina Banerjee offers up the optimistic possibility of a world freed from the constraints of conventional standards of beauty, worth, social pecking order and what is “proper.” We live in a moment of opportunity, Banerjee posits, when it's possible for individuals to define themselves in a way that is truly authentic. |

Isabella Kirkland, Phasmid Eggs, 2021, oil on polyester over panel, 48 x 60 inches |
|
|
Self-taught in the meticulous and time-consuming techniques developed by 17th century Dutch painters, Kirkland directs her technical proficiency and rarefied access to biological specimen collections towards illuminating the ecological instability of the Anthropocene — and specifically, the acute threat to Earth’s smallest creatures and the domino effect that their demise would trigger.
