About this event

Art Classes

This group exhibition brings together painting and sculpture that move through intimate interior spaces. Drawing from life, memory, and material reference, the works form a crepuscular world shaped by form, pattern, and palette. In selecting this group of artists, a common attribute in the work is a human presence. One that lingers and recedes, obscured, anthropomorphic, or peculiar, then vanishes, leaving a charged absence. The artist moves as both visitor and host, like a guest in the world. Each work becomes a site of temporary inhabitation, where spaces often fold inward, images within images, where meaning emerges through suggestion rather than resolve. Gesture meets quiet intimacy as humor and improvisation subtly distort reality. Featured artists: Amanda Mathis, Judith Simonian, Chriss Slevin, Amy Talluto, Etty Yaniv, & Charles Yuen. Curated by Elise P. Church and Narelle Sissons.
