  2. Window Galleries Featured Artist: Alex Heilbron

    Alex Heilbron presents one of her large-scale abstract paintings in the North Window Gallery and a site-specific installation in the East Window Gallery. Alex Heilbron’s work employs patterns to explore how femininity is perceived culturally, psychologically, and politically.  Heilbron's paintings present multiple points of tension: the uniformity of pattern versus the subtleties of figuration, the digital versus the handmade. In bright, bold color, Heilbron creates paintings that seem to be constantly shifting within the stability of the picture plane.
