J. Rinehart Gallery is delighted to announce the exhibition, Field and Figure, from artist Kimberly Trowbridge. Her exhibition, Field and Figure, approaches nature through the lens of Renaissance painting: the construction of characters interacting on a stage.
Field and Figure will be on view online and in the Gallery June 1 – June 26, 2024. A Preview Reception will be held Saturday, June 1, 2024, from 2-4pm. A Public Opening Reception will be held First Thursday, June 6, 2024, from 5-8pm. The artist will join us for a discussion about her work on Saturday, June 15, from 1-3pm.
Within Field and Figure, Trowbridge combines color, shape, and rhythm to leap into the unknown, into the present relationships building on our surface. Field and Figure exists right in front of us, an observation of the figure as an invented construction.
Working plein air, Trowbridge unearths images that challenge perception and reveal structures describing the artist’s experience. The boundaries of the self are blurred and the connection to our environment is revealed as deeply intertwined.
Of her work, Trowbridge states: “Painting is a way of life, a continued effort to translate experience into a meaningful, visual document. Looking to the past gives us wonderful nuggets of wisdom, attitudes for entering, clues on the path through the deep forest of our own consciousness.”
