CORRIE GREGORY
Write Right and Other Natural Causes
July 27- August 31,2013
OPENING RECEPTION:
SATURDAY
July 27, 2013 5-10 pm
Book Show is pleased to present the inaugural exhibition in our space with work by Los Angeles-based artist Corrie Gregory. Write Right and Other Natural Causes includes Gregory’s latest works on paper, as well as larger-format paintings on Dura-lar.
Corrie Gregory’s work lives on the border between dreams and nightmares, where chance and control collide. Her art is born out of investigation. Gregory notes, “I believe in the practice of art. Once I have the technical control, I am able to let go and open the process to the possibility of happenstance.”
Write Right and Other Natural Causes finds Gregory exploring Jungian themes from the deep preconscious, themes that have appeared in fables around the world for hundreds of years and which continue to resonate today. Her animals take on human characteristics and her humans, children all, exhibit animal parts, drawing a mystical connection between us and our animal nature. The characters in Gregory’s work sprout roots, float in the air, or do both. Her creatures are innocent and perplexed, sly and savvy, or passive and subject to the whims of nature, but never victims of their fate.
