Galleri Urbane will present Chicago-based artist Michelle Wasson for her debut solo show with the gallery, "Proto Grove." Following her inclusion in RIPE, the gallery’s 2021 summer group exhibition, Wasson migrates into a lighter and breathier environment with this body of work, offering a refuge from reality.
From the modest tabletop, Wasson layers her canvases with rich glazes of single colors to build a history. She portrays surreal scenes reminiscent of supernatural spaces in her blended genre of still life and landscape painting. The colors, in harmony, create a visual poetry between works through color and contour.
In ethereal pieces, Wasson infuses playful nods from art history and floral growth into the work. Each painting exemplifies the duality of human nature through her gossamer of colors upon the deep backdrops. Generative creations, the paintings demonstrate good versus evil, unveiling human nature and its inherent tensions.
The paintings encapsulate warring ideas that persuade destruction and relentless recreation. Proto Grove is a narrative of nature's fertility, providing a hopeful gesture of light that celebrates the need for relentless recreation from destruction.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through October 1.
