Opening Reception Saturday, April 23, 12 noon - 2 pm; Exhibition April 23 - May 28
Large scale drawings and several smaller works on paper which depict a glimpse into the raw and beautiful landscape of contemporary adolescence. Josephine Taylor's new work risks praise for the irrational, impulsive and precarious years of adolescence. Inspired by everyday scenes near a public San Francisco high school, these drawings explore the physical proximity, sense of place, and intrinsic beauty of groups of teenagers. This is new territory for Taylor-a radical departure from the fantastical and distorted figures in sexual battle depicted in her 2011 Monsterface exhibit. And yet, Taylor's unique ability to exquisitiely render repulsive and repellent scenes remains transformative.
