On display until December 12, the Emory Visual Arts Gallery presents “Quick Split”, a solo show by the artist, Lindsay Burke.
The show comprises twenty-one paintings and drawings varying in size and media that together assemble a complex dynamic in which cosmic and anatomical figures interfuse through dazzling color. Channeling forms simultaneously spiritual and corporeal, diagrammatic and intimate, Burke demonstrates obvious affinities with mystic modern painters like Agnes Pelton and Hilma Af Klint, but her vision is unique, pulsing and whirling sense of drama that all its own. See for yourself before the show closes!
