Natural Perspectives | Senior BFA Exhibition
March 16 to 19 | Gallery 100
Opening reception | March 17 | 5 to 7 p.m.
Gallery 100 is pleased to present “Natural Perspectives”, a BFA group exhibition including artists working across drawing, painting, photography and animation. The exhibition brings together a group of artists whose mediums and practices confront themes such as visibility, identity and transformation through portraits, landscapes and composites. Through vastly different media and aesthetics, the artists challenge narratives that have shaped the representation of women, labor, performance and perception.
This exhibition explores how histories are remembered, how identities form and how bodies are viewed, consumed, celebrated or erased. Women are posed within male-dominated labor sites, transformed through surreal editorial staging, rendered in excess color and clown-like performance, compared to fruit as symbols of consumption, embedded within desert landscapes and dissolved into psychedelic portals of emotional inquiry.
Color is a major symbolic language used by each artist. Elements such as bold reds, rainbow palettes, desert light and saturated psychedelia refuse subtlety and demand attention. Rather than rewriting history, these works aim to reveal its ignorance, expose its distortions and imagine expanded futures. Together, the artists propose that landscapes hold incomplete stories, female figures carry inherited expectations and images shape memory. Through color symbolism, transformation and diverse media, “Natural Perspectives" invites viewers to alter their perspectives on what has already been historically perceived about landscapes, the female figure and composites.
Artists: Wendy Avila, Clay Bilitzo, Winter Hubbard, Averie Johnson, Jenny Lausen, Emmy Lozano, Rylee Moore, Trinity McCall and Aileen Sanchez.
