Dolby Chadwick Gallery is pleased to announce Spool, an exhibition of recent work by Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann, on view from November 7 to 30. Mann’s paintings sit at the nexus of multiple worlds, occupying that in-between space where landscape drifts toward abstraction and back again. Layers of stylized foliage, traces of the geologic, and suggestions of rain and water-logged terrain coalesce as dazzling, feverish energy. Other visual references, many of them decorative in nature, also enter Mann’s mise-en-scenes to shift their tone and confer new meaning. The paintings are fragmented and full—maximal in a way that conjures unfettered abundance rather than congestion.
