Berntson Bhattacharjee is pleased to present Body Language; a group show exploring the fragmentation and abstraction of the body across the practices of artists Kim Booker, Hanna Hansdotter and C. Lucy R. Whitehead. Working in painting, drawing, and glass, exhibited artists investigate the relationship between the physical and emotional body.
Using the language of abstraction, these artists investigate how emotions and psychological states are closely interwoven with the body. Playing with a sense of malleable bodily borders and movement, these works suggest a continual state of becoming and ever-shifting emotional dynamics. Fragments of the physical meet the abstract, resulting in bodies that are detached from any set narrative or identity.
