Figuratively Seeing

With references to the history of art and the tradition of figural painting, hints of allegory, and glances at film, the artists in Figuratively Seeing revel in the materiality of paint on canvas. The exhibition features work by contemporary artists who are examining - and in some cases redefining - figurative painting and portraiture. Although their focus is the human subject, instead of drawing from live sitters like traditional portrait painters, the artists employ multiple strategies to portray their chosen subjects.

Included in the exhibition are: Hannah Barrett, Holly Coulis, Jerónimo Elespe, Andre Ethier, Chris Faust, Vera Iliatova, Keith Mayerson, David Ording, Benedicte Peyrat, Bettina Sellmann, and Jason Teraoka.
