The Empty Circle is pleased to announce “Wave,” a solo exhibition of new paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Jaqueline Cedar. Navigating the tension between sincerity and interruption, the exhibition explores the romantic, poetic, and occasionally absurd nature of visible reality.
Together, the works in the exhibition examine the passage of time and the dream-like status of memory within intimate spaces. In these new paintings, Cedar slides between slowness and speed. Repeated forms create the illusion of blurred movement, while ordinary details in the peripheral vision suddenly demand attention—pulling the viewer in while simultaneously compelling a step back.
