Propensity for Sentimentality

Tucson, Arizona, USA. Laura Tanner examines the consequences of American colonialism and addresses the sense of white, patriarchal fragility that continues to pervade Western culture. Hand-cut lace patterns and images layer and fold over specific vignettes, concealing the drawing underneath in order to reveal alternative narratives. By borrowing directly from the decorative arts, the meticulously hand-cut Mylar and equally intricate drawing capitalizes on America’s propensity for sentimentality. MORE

Other-worldly Concerns

Lewes, Delaware, USA. A focus on other-worldly concerns developed as a synergy from Felicia Belair-Rigdon's early childhood experiences: The Church, the theater, and the drama of the auction house. Bringing together disparate imagery of art historical references: angels, skydivers, bones, or twigs, for instance. The surface is worked over with diverse materials including gouache, oil pastels, and bole unifying and developing a painterly approach to paper. MORE

COLLAGE ON VIEW

Constellation

At LHQ Gallery in Cork, Ireland through 31 December 2021. "Constellation” features collagist Carol Reid White and miniature painter Amna Walayat. Through their work, the Cork-based artists explore and interrogate history and its related iconography, allegories and metaphors through fragmentation and re-contextualising. The artists then create new constellations through painting and collage. These images, layered with historical connotation in eastern and western subjects, articulate new meanings and generate a fresh dialogue with its viewer to recall their own personal experiences and knowledge of history. The artworks create a visual tension between naïve images which are loaded with critical, ironic, social and political commentaries on history. MORE
