Lend me your slow hands

Hugh Van Schaick's second solo exhibition with the gallery. This series of new paintings expands on Van Schaick's continued interest in vulnerability and connection, and the discomfort surrounding these ideas. Closely cropped figurative forms, in varying degrees of ambiguity, invite active observing, forcing the viewer to question what they are witnessing. The perspective of the compositions is manipulated, turned sideways or upside down, to disrupt the viewing experience and further abstract the forms.
