G-Town Arts presents Into the Looking Glass, a group exhibition bringing together fifteen artists whose work engages reflection as a mutable condition—one that complicates perception and unsettles the boundary between interior and exterior, subject and image.
Featuring works by Kathy Coe, Rosemary Cotnoir, Ed Gendron, Dave Gesualdi, Leslie Giuliani, Julie Heffernan, Bob Keating, Katerina Lanfranco, Brigid Kennedy, Benjamin Klein, Ruth Marten, Margaret McCann, Sue Rollins, Cindy Ruskin, Sage Tucker-Ketcham, Lydia Viscardi, Virginia Wagner, Lisa Warren, and Jessica Weiss, the exhibition spans painting, drawing, and mixed media practices. Across these approaches, reflection functions less as representation than as a means of inquiry: a way of thinking through transformation, projection, and looking itself.
Here, the looking glass is not a stable surface but a threshold. Images fracture, double, and drift; landscapes merge with figures, interiors give way to imagined spaces, and scale remains in flux. The familiar appears altered, slightly displaced, as if seen from an adjacent register. Many works lean toward the surreal or dreamlike, where form resists closure and meaning remains provisional.
The exhibition foregrounds the act of looking as an active exchange. Mirrors do not simply return an image but open a space of encounter, where visibility is contingent, and the reflected figure remains vulnerable, incomplete. Each work holds a tension between recognition and estrangement, inviting sustained attention rather than resolution.
Into the Looking Glass proposes reflection as an ongoing process rather than a fixed outcome—an image that unfolds through duration, repetition, and reconsideration.
