I Came to See You

June 29 - August 17,2024

From McClain Gallery: "McClain Gallery is pleased to announce a group exhibition for summer 2024 featuring the work of Anne Deleporte, Mark Francis, Bradley Kerl, Bruna Massadas, Preetika Rajgariah, Nick Vaughan & Jake Margolin and Salle Werner Vaughn. Focusing on portraiture in an expansive field, I Came to See You bends the idea to include works where the sitter’s face is not visible, the shadow of the artist’s body is the figure that becomes a mirror for the viewer, or where a body at rest, bliss, or holding the mantle of unrequested legacies is the thin line between subjectivity and object. Broaching topics like freudian lapses, surrealist symbolism, inherited societal mantles, and the idea of seeing oneself represented, the grouped artists make a picture of what portraiture can do today through painting, photography, found cut photographs, and cut maps, collage and unusual materials."

Reception: July 27, 2024 | 3-5 pm
