SUMMARY:Ursula Gullow: Nightbloom
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours are Wed – Sat 11am-5pm \nTracey Morgan Gallery is pleased to present “Nightbloom\,” our first solo exhibition of painter and mixed media artist Ursula Gullow. Join us for an Artist Reception on Friday\, May 16 from 6-8PM. \nMoving between classical painting techniques and craft materials\, Gullow’s artwork embraces the decorative arts while reframing the female presence in Western art and rescuing historical imagery from its patriarchal forebears. Her richly painted tableaus and lustrous ceramic objects recontextualize sentimental narratives\, innuendos\, and adornments prevalent in European art history. Flowers\, foliage\, ribbons\, petticoats\, silk stockings\, and ornamental filigree fill her oil paintings of landscapes and interior spaces.
