Behind the Curtain – Vernissage

all Space Gallery is proud to present “Behind the Curtain,” a group exhibition of paintings by Kelly Grace, Andrew Beck, Elle Chae, and Jay Li. The artists in “Behind the Curtain” construct worlds through the collapse of linear time, combining past eras or moments from personal archives in snapshots of layered imagery that capture the stretching and tidal current of time in motion.

Beck, Chae, Grace and Li reveal the ways in which we are drawn to creating meaning through visual imagery, and subsequently, painting’s ability to question the solidity of the structures underlying that meaning. Each uses the malleable constructs of time, cultural memory, and personal experience to grasp the slippery threads of reality, if only for a moment.
