Christopher Pothier - Wrangling with Shadows
Christopher Pothier is best known for his quixotic, hard-hitting, contemporary realist paintings which address social, political, and personal issues. He occasionally offers a nostalgic painting of children at play, albeit reminiscent of "Lord of the Flies," or images with overtones of forbidding. It’s his true nature to look deep in, after all, which is generally why no matter the subject Pothier offers beauty laced with dread or conflict and evokes familiar feelings in us which may simmer just out of reach.
In, Wrangling with Shadows, his 2022 Bowersock Gallery exhibition, Pothier will premier Rooms, his latest series.
The show opens with an artists’ reception from 7-9 pm, on Friday, September 2nd through Tuesday, September 20th.
