CAROLINE KENT
A LIGHT LEFT ON IN THE HALLWAY
MARCH 12 – APRIL 18, 2016
“A Light Left on in the Hallway,” presents a new body of paintings that shift in scale from the intimacy of a sheet of stationary to a building’s relief that towers overhead. Bridging past and present gestures – much like a hallway joins one room to another – Kent frames growth as a process of repetition and return. The exhibition’s title serves as a quiet summons, evoking the hour late at night or just before dawn: a dim corridor where shadows lengthen, dissolve, and gather again. Within this transitional architecture of light, painting becomes both witness and companion.
