March Avery
Blum & Poe is pleased to present a solo exhibition of paintings by New York-based artist March Avery. The exhibition, which is Avery鈥檚 first with the gallery, introduces a body of work spanning over five decades and is the artist鈥檚 first extensive solo presentation in New York in over twenty years.
Focusing on portraiture and landscape and punctuated with still life, the selection of works on view repositions the vitality of moments passed through paint applied to canvas. Mothers read bedtime stories; children eat breakfast, sit on laps, and play Chinese checkers; clouds hover over the surface of a cerulean blue lake; and potted plants are placed amongst a child鈥檚 toys or present themselves in paintings hung behind a sofa, upon which a young woman reclines in the company of a cat. These diaristic tendencies that characterize Avery鈥檚 oeuvre encapsulate a lifelong commitment to the process of painting itself.
