Exhibition view, ph: Chris Grunder
The unique collection featured in the exhibition The Flight of Color brings together life-size oil paintings, paintings in which chromatic exuberance leads the eye toward improbable encounters — animals, objects, food, flowers, and decorative motifs converge, transforming the domestic interior into a site of continuous discovery. Rendered with consummate technical virtuosity, the compositions draw together wide-ranging cultural references, blurring the line between interior and exterior, the natural and the cultivated. Egreja thus offers a searching view of an ever-changing world, one in which the familiar becomes at once uncanny and enthralling.
