Painting by Proxy, organized by Project: ARTSpace, features artists who share the practice of eliminating handmade marks from the physical fabrication of their paintings, deploying instead and some level of unknown allows their images to appear as if elevated and, in a larger context, beyond that of the individual creator. Large-scale paintings are presented in the intimate space of the gallery, amplifying the sensory impact of their work. Works will be on view through December 17.
