Maureen Gallace at Overduin and Kite

From the show’s press release: “Gallace’s intimate paintings are based on photographs taken by the  artist in her native New England. Gallace achieves an unsettling balance between the personal and the nondescript in her images. The settings depicted are familiar representations of tranquil New England homes and landscapes, but upon closer examination the focus shifts from subject to the physical presence of paint as a descriptive mark. Gallace’s materialist treatment of the medium engages painting’s classic lexicon of color, surface, and form through the iconographies of traditional landscape painting.”

More images here. The show is on view until October 26, 2013 at 6693 Sunset Boulevard in LA.
