On the lower level, viewers will encounter a group of five new paintings by New York–based artist Adrianne Rubenstein. Typical of her practice, these new works emit an intuitive and frenetic power. Similar to Bryan, there is a subversive playfulness in her craft – the charge between texture and gesture is abstract, estranging the familiarity of her subjects. Her paintings call forth a natural state of being, blurring identifiable totems with complex backgrounds to reintroduce the viewer’s focus.
