la BEAST proudly presents “Paintings”, a solo exhibition of timeless artworks crafted by artist Michael Norton. Prominently focused on the traditional medium of egg tempera, Norton renders atmospheric, geometric gateways, professing the existence of a vast expanse. Shifting between the familiar and the ethereal, Norton’s delicate panels possess a quiet intensity; being both inviting and strangely intimidating. As if painted a millennia ago, his surfaces feel historic, defiant of modernity, asserting an exquisite vision of antiquity that no longer exists.
