Exhibition History

Exhibition History

The Phantom of Liberty

May 4 - December 30, 2018

There is no set way to deal with a question as broad and deep as identity, and I don’t want to limit myself to any one way of painting. Sometimes figures are clearly defined, sometimes it’s ambiguous or the question simply evaporates. I’d like to tap into a universal human experience but know there’s no such thing; we all experience the world differently. When gender and race are eliminated, something else is left to see; other connections are made between the figures and their worlds. –Nicole Eisenman
