Mary Iverson’s Painted Container in Singapore (Juxtapoz)
Mary Iverson will open her solo show Tangle in the Shooting Gallery‘s Project space this Saturday April 13, from 7 – 11 PM. The artist visited Singapore in January with the Chandran Gallery to paint a public work for the Goodman Arts Center and we loved these photos.
Iverson has been fixated on the aesthetic beauty and global impact of shipping containers for years. It’s only fitting that she painted her geometric, pop-surrealist style onto an actual container, which will eventually be returned to circulation and shipped around the world. Her work is described in Juxtapoz’s post: “…it is the perfect shape and structure of the container that becomes a mystical, mythical figure in her paintings, juxtaposed by realistic landscapes of the last remaining American frontiers (the work harkens back to the Hudson River School movement, with the contemporary flourish of rectangular, tumbling containers and ships).”
