Elizabeth McIntosh: Islands
Nov 17, 2017 - Dec 22, 2017
ISLANDS is Elizabeth McIntosh鈥檚 first solo exhibition with the gallery, while an 鈥榠sland鈥� is a piece of sub-continental land surrounded by water. Comprised of her most recent paintings, there is a suggestion here of paintings as metaphorical islands. Many of the works in this show were created during her residency this past summer on the remote continental island of Fogo, Newfoundland, and elements of these works are taken directly from that visual environment and its histories. Almost directly south of Fogo, but well below the equator, lies the oceanic, tropical island of Barbados, which has featured in Elizabeth鈥檚 previous work and where she has personal connections. Islands are distinct, but 鈥榠sland culture鈥� and 鈥榠sland time鈥� connect them psychically, despite geographic, racial, historical and political differences.
