Ashley Benton + Christopher Lee Gilmer Opening Reception

Inspired by datamoshing, quantum mechanics and the hyper saturation of imagery found in daily life, Christopher Lee Gilmer creates oil paintings that explore the psychological effects of the figure through physical mutations that distort and merge various realities. Ashley Benton’s figurative ceramics also portray a dialogue of the human condition. Using symbolism as well as physical mutations to explore the depths of the subconscious, Benton’s work draws on the inherent search of life’s significance. Less than reality and more than a dream, Benton and Gilmer’s work strives to give the viewer an alternative connection to the self. Join Wally Workman for the joint exhibition’s opening reception on December 7.

This exhibition will run from December 7 through January 5, 2020.
