The April 12th show at the newly formed Blindfold Gallery featured Kimberly Trowbridge. Blindfold was formed by partners Sara Long, Laura Hamje, and Scott Burk.
The space is irregular but fun; two spaces, one about 5 steps up from the other, sharing a window, showcase the art in wonderfully bright rooms. The art itself hung well in these spaces, allowing for a variety of sizes and experiences.
The paintings and one sculpture are an intimate look at the relationship and history of memory and experience. There were two large paintings, the central focus of each room, exhibiting studies of form and layers combined with the decisions and impressions of narration. The language in these paintings felt the most complete. With a very geometric approach the artist gives the raw white canvas as much presence as the dark layered upon layered straight strokes her brush creates.
The show was a success. With a few studies that I look forward to seeing more developed, such as a new installation of her 3-dimensional approach.
