Imago pairs Imogen Allen and Anne Carney Raines in an exploration of landscape, symbolism, and perception. Allen’s semi-abstract butterfly wing paintings shift perspective from micro to macro, evoking vitality and intimacy with the natural world. Raines’ theatrical landscapes unfold like stage sets, saturated sunsets hinting at dystopia. Together, they reclaim “too pretty” subjects—sunsets, butterflies—with playful defiance, turning cliché into radical inquiry.
