Mary Shah and Rachael Wren: In the Ecstasy of the Sun brings together two painters whose practices share roots in plein air observation while diverging sharply in execution. Shah blends color into luminous, atmospheric abstractions that dissect animal and plant forms as if from a parallel world, her watercolor practice informing a sublime lightness of touch in her oils. Wren builds multilayered geometric abstractions through improvisational, hard-edged color adjacencies that take landscape experience far from its original form. Opposite in approach yet aligned in their pursuit of the unexpected and the pre-unvisualizable, the two find their place of meeting here in oil paintings and works on paper.
