Through complementary color contrast and bright pops of deep reds and pinks, “Hoofprints” explores gender tropes as they relate to physical pain. The artist uses humor in the work to process physical trauma from a horse accident in 2011.
The Spirit Room is pleased to present “Hoofprints”, a colorful exhibition that engages the viewer in ironic humor focused on how gender norms affect the way feminine bodies present pain. Curated by the artist, Sally Pat Williamson, and on view from February 3, 2025 to May 1, 2025, this solo gallery exhibition explores the intersection of humor and pain as they relate to our bodies. The opening reception, which is free to the public, for “Hoofprints” will take place on Sunday, March 23rd from 3:00 to 5:00pm. The Spirit Room Galleries are open weekdays from 1:00 to 5:00pm.
Consisting of six paintings, the artist depicts horse backsides, personal hospital gifts, and glittering abstractions, all coelesing together to create a sense of irony and humor.
The exhibition is complemented by being shown in Gallery Two. The intimate space encourages viewers to get personal with the work, something the artist hopes will encourage close inspection and introspection.
