Ellen Heck: Form and Function Exhibition Opening

Ellen Heck’s Form and Function is a study of portraiture, symbolism and topology inspired by William Adolphe Bouguereau’s Broken Pitcher (La Cruche Cassée, 1891). Several of her new works highlight the formal similarities between vessels and Klein bottles (a non-orientable surface with no boundary), calling attention to the repetition, substitution and compression required to create both a symbol and a painting. Catch the exhibition’s opening on March 7 from 5-7pm.

This exhibition will be on display through March 29.
