From the site:
Please join Muriel Guepin Gallery on Friday, April 23rd from 6-9 pm to celebrate the opening of a new group show “Looking In,” featuring paintings and mixed media works by Pauline Galiana, Hovey Brock, and Robert Szot.

The artists in “Looking in” create work that asks you to look closer by relinquishing your habits and preconceived ideas.

Layering stickers, fruit tags, and the remnants of her own art-making process, Pauline Galianacreates mixed media collages. Her work is a personal diary comprised of the left-over materials of daily life.

Hovey Brock’s paintings are composed of many layers of transparent washes of intense colors. His goal is for viewers to release the habits that govern the way they look, and to get “lost” in his paintings.

In his paintings, Robert Szot responds to unanswered questions relevant painters have left untouched in their own work. His study of the history of the medium allows him to create abstract canvases that engage viewers while remaining quietly personal.

The exhibit will be on view from April 23rd through May 30th.
