Rebecca Leveille: Hugs & Kisses and the Room of Lies
June 1 – July 31, 2019
Opening reception: June 14, 2019, 6-8pm
In conjunction with Northampton’s Arts Night Out
Rebecca Leveille’s new works examine the concept of the “narrative envelope” as it relates to both communal myths and to personal experience. Her small works and large painted environments (paintings in the round) delve into the subjectivity of both escapism and determinations of objective reality. Employing a vast array of the visual tools of narrative, figuration, and abstraction, she asks the viewer to at once surrender to and be critical of her provocations.
“I want to do riveting, beautiful, terrible things. . . I want to say hard things in such a way that people can’t look away ” – Rebecca Leveille
