'Garden Knees and Other Rituals' by Emily Kepulis () for that's currently on view through July 18th at Chefas Projects. Watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, wax pastel on canvas, 30 x 24 inches.

Landscape serves as a recurring vessel for this exploration, particularly the horizon line, an optical phenomenon where earth and sky appear to meet. For Kepulis, the horizon embodies a paradox of certainty and illusion, shared experience and personal projection. The paintings linger within this tension, occupying a reality that remains fluid and continuously formed through perception itself.

'The Foot' by Emma Gerig (.gee) for that's currently on view through July 18th at Chefas Projects. Flashe on canvas, 10 × 8 inches.

Central to Gerig's practice is an ongoing study of craft. Her work emerges through a conversation between material reality and imagination, the tangible properties of paint and the possibilities of what it might become. Narrative, dream logic, and material inquiry converge to create images that function as contemporary parables.

Recurring animal forms and disembodied limbs explore themes of intimacy, longing, and contradiction. These symbols reflect both the desire to be loved and the intrusion of care, inviting viewers into worlds where tenderness and discomfort coexist.

'Reversed Statue No. 1' by Emma Gerig (.gee) for that's currently on view through July 18th at Chefas Projects. Flashe on canvas, 54 × 44 inches.

Drawing from sketches of Michelangelo's non-finito sculptures, Emma Gerig's newest body of work explores the unfinished as both subject and method. Retranslating Michelangelo's incomplete figures into paint, these works inhabit a space between emergence and dissolution, where forms surface, fragment, and recede.
