UGAT

Various Artist

September 8-19, 2021

“Thinking through the polysemy of roots, “Ugat” similarly exhibits plenitude in the varied approaches, iconographies, modes, materials, and strategies pursued by the artists. Exploring both realist and expressionist figuration and lyrical and materialist abstraction, the artists conjoin biomorphic forms and floral motifs with labyrinthine linework and dense, painterly thickets to form amalgamations of portraits and landscapes that, at times, verge on the surrealistic and the fantastical. “Ugat” is a variegated display of ruminations on life, death, health, the ecological, the psychological, and the social.”
