Immediately following the evening exhibition tour, participating artist Pegan Brooke will give a slide talk.
Pegan Brooke makes nature-based abstract paintings that invite us to pause and to look closely—to spend time immersed in the fields of muted color and light she presents on her canvases. Inspired by reflections of light on water or the movement of light through forests, Brooke’s paintings consist of carefully organized grids, each constructed with precise gestural marks. Her paintings require that one “decelerate,” as the art critic Mark Van Proyen has written. This exhibition features three of Brooke’s paintings paired with some of her video poems, as well as a new interactive video installation.
Part of The Center's BIG IDEA project, Contemplative Practice.
