Middle Ground @ CommonWealth Gallery November 6 - 12, 2021 855 Commonwealth Avenue Boston, MA 02215 I'm excited to share news about my two-person show, Middle Ground, with Benjamin Hawley @ BU's Commonwealth Gallery! As part of our second-year graduate seminar class, we have been working collaboratively to create a proposal and install a show of our work, and I'm so proud of it!
Made to engage with the quiet act of looking, the paintings and prints in Middle Ground reflect routines and memories. In this show, Emily Manning-Mingle and Benjamin Hawley examine cherished objects and collected observations, extending the life of these things by painting them into psychological and ethereal spaces. The imagery in their paintings is inspired by long walks, states of matter, inherited and found objects, material explorations, and iconic architecture. Often returning to the same objects again and again, each artist develops ongoing relationships with the things they repeatedly depict. Applying layers of thinly veiled paint, ink, thread, and fabric, Hawley and Manning-Mingle translate their observations into intricate and expansive experiences that blur the boundaries between observation and abstraction. The resulting works highlight a shared devotion to perceptual painting and an appreciation for the sublime within the natural and mundane. We will be having a closing reception on Friday, November 12 from 6-7:30pm. In accordance with BU's current visitor policies, if you would like to see the show, you must RSVP in advance.
