Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Recent paintings by artist Marilyn Chapman offer a microscopic snapshot of our modern-day world with all its cover ups, in both the literal and global sense: those that keep us safe and warm and those that mask our truths. Mixed medium conjures up mixed emotion and pushes past the warm and fuzzy into discovery of what may lie beneath. This work was inspired by the traditional symbolism of the old-fashioned patchwork quilt, referenced in the abstractions as a contrast to today’s contemporary cover ups that so greatly impact our lives and our planet.
