Kendall Gallery
Now Showing: Micah Bloom
Artist Statement
The "434 Hawkeye Dr" series investigates the relationship between domestic harmony and incongruous, impersonal living spaces. Presenting daily family activities, some moments quiet and ordinary and others isolating or unsettling, each small painting invites the viewer to share the intimacy and austerity of the domicile. Likewise, these paintings explore the particulars of domestic life and its direct correlation to a collective, historical narrative (i.e. biblical, classical, etc.) Replete with personal symbology and detailed specifics, these home scenes present the challenge of living an non-estranged life in an estranged environment.
Our congratulations to Micah Bloom. The "434 Hawkeye Drive" exhibit will have to be removed September 18th due to the paintings being selected to show at the Museum of Modern Art in Taipei, Taiwan.Visit the Kendall Gallery
