About the Exhibitions
Opening reception: First Friday, May 7, 5 - 8 pm

Margaret Murphy, Cameo

Pentimenti Gallery will present a solo show of a new series of mixed media works on paper by Margaret Murphy. The highly embellished works contain figurines within landscapes reflecting Murphy’s experiences with consumer culture. Through her excessive use of kitsch, decoration and color she further critiques material culture and its ability to represent or misrepresent views of gender, class and history.

SUPERIMPOSE!
Simultaneously with Margaret Murphy’s solo exhibition, Pentimenti Gallery will present SUPERIMPOSE!, abstract works by David Ambrose, Cecilia Biagini and Richard Roth. These artists will exhibit a variety of abstract works, both two and three dimensional, which deal with the function of and process of using mark, trace or line and its superimposing possibilities.
