GBGLA is pleased to present Shawn Huckins: The Birds Will Sing, the gallery’s first solo exhibition of paintings by the Denver-based artist. The exhibition features Huckins new text and landscape oil paintings and continues through May 8th.
Shawn Huckins is a tour de force of technical skill and wit – referencing our sometimes rosy view of history and our complicated present in these exquisitely painted canvases. This series, “The Birds Will Sing,” takes its title from the sweetly bucolic title of an old Cajun folk song. The song, instead of following the title’s lead, turns out to be a murder ballad. This painting series follows in its depiction of what appears at first glance to be simply breathtaking landscapes but which are overlaid with wistfully dark statements about contemporary love.
