Presentation Details
Parker Gallery will bring together paintings by the late Irving Marcus together with new works by Marley Freeman and Keegan Monaghan in an intergenerational group presentation centered on the possibilities of color and the rewards of slow looking. Marcus created his delirious compositions via a fastidious process of transforming grainy images culled from newspapers. Freeman’s glowing abstractions, made in dialogue with the history of textiles, testify to her deep sensitivity to subtleties of form and feeling. Monaghan’s densely textured canvases render the everyday extraordinary with close-cropped details and skewed perspectives, evoking the subjectivity of visual perception.
About the Gallery
Through solo and historically-focused group exhibitions, Parker Gallery champions artists who deserve broader recognition. The gallery represents a multi-generational program of established artists and emerging points of view, with a commitment to recontextualizing mid-twentieth century Northern California art through the lens of contemporary practices.
