There's something in the silence
Adrienne Elyse Meyers
Nov. 3 - 28
Reception: Friday, Nov. 7, 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Throughout her practice, Meyers draws on her religious rural upbringing in the woods of East Texas, teasing out senses of awe and fear within otherwise banal scenes of daily life. In her work, catastrophizing, apprehension, and precarity live alongside comfort, rest, and the tenderness of sapphic love. Scenes in soft focus are presented at a human scale that invites viewers to enter each image, and underpaintings in reds, pinks, purples, and oranges peek through thin washes of oil paint, establishing a sense of warmth and closeness. There’s something in the silence brings together figures and spaces with a distinctive warm—almost fleshy—color palette that establishes an atmospheric cohesion throughout the exhibition.
