Here at Paper Crane, sometimes we need a break, so we decided to take a few days off and asked artist Cory Clements to watch over our space … we know he’d pack it full of crazy creatures, mustached animals, and beasts of every mood and variety, but what we didn’t know is that they were going to jump out of the paper and onto the walls!

Come to the opening reception on Friday, June 3 from 7-10 pm to see Cory’s prints and murals, or check out the show during open hours until Sunday, June 12.

Rosalind Tallmadge and William McMahan’s work share undeniable similarities, with both artists creating truncated, distorted, and isolated figures existing in expansive environments.

Tallmadge employs highly-saturated, intense, and arresting color combinations when creating her large-scale paintings of abandoned, ravaged figures.

McMahan’s etchings exist in a black and white palette comprised of highly-textured, mottled figures suggestive of mold or rot, and appear to be writing or fluttering, sometimes trying to free themselves from restraints.

This show exposes viewers to two unique but related surreal, evocative representations of the figure within landscapes, and creates an emotive, universal, and existential expression about humanity.
