'Looking' at The Trout Musem of Art
Opening reception of “Looking” at the Trouth Museum of Art
I’m excited to be part of Looking, the new exhibition at the Trout Museum of Art in Appleton, Wisconsin, running from September 20, 2024, to January 12, 2025. The show features twelve artists from across North America, including myself, exploring the theme of “looking” and how observation shapes meaning and perspective in art. This exhibition also ties into the museum’s Finders Keepers art hunt, engaging the community in discovering hidden artworks throughout the year. It’s an incredible opportunity to share my work alongside such talented artists.
At first glance, these paintings seem to be a celebration of color. The use of earthy greens, browns, and yellows is interrupted by bursts of bright pinks, blues, and oranges, creating a dynamic and engaging visual experience. Each painting feels like a snapshot of a place in motion, as if the city’s pulse is captured in the energetic interplay of hues and shapes.
The geometric precision in these works has become a trademark. Squares, rectangles, and intersecting lines dominate the compositions, reminiscent of the grid systems used in urban planning. The carefully structured shapes lend a sense of order, yet the palette disrupts this rigidity, reminding us that beneath all the systems and boundaries, cities are living, breathing entities.
