https://finearts.tcu.edu/art/events-and-programs/the-art-galleries-at-tcu/A 5-person exhibition which presents figure painting as a sensory and political engagement through hybrid practices. Artists include: Jackie Gendel, Lovie Olivia, Yana Payusova, Alexis Pye & Keer Tanchak. Connecting conceptual threads across the exhibition suggest artists are exploring or re-situating domestic craft and decorative art practices in relation to painting the figure. The artists employ strategies of pattern, gesture, repetition and layering through a range of materials and methods including watercolor, fresco-secco, wallpaper, clay and embroidery. Their works celebrate handwork and revel in the pleasures of tactile surfaces, decoration and ornamentation. Over forty years on from the groundbreaking Pattern and Decoration art movement, these works prompt fresh discussion about the renewed value of craft in contemporary art practices. The artists protest against hierarchies in subject and material, and their concerns in paint reflect current feminist discourse about cultural identity, representation and making.
