The art of successful collaboration involves the ability to transcend the individual vision in favor of the project as a whole, and Rochelle Botello and Marion Lane have certainly done just that in their exhibition, aptly titled Double Trouble. Lane’s elegant elliptical paintings seem in direct conversation with Botello’s oddly unsettling biomorphic shapes, but rather than simply visually interpret Botello’s sculptural forms, Lane utilizes the imagery as a point of departure, creating a lush and strangely languorous visual experience. Both artists generate forms that are constantly shifting, melding and reconnecting despite their apparent stasis, which gives one the sense that anything is possible.
