ANDLAB Gallery
ANDLAB Gallery proudly presents Alyssa Rogers, Leslie Barton, and Caley O’Dwyer with ‘Known, Unknown:
A Portrait of Figures that Surround Our Lives,’ a three-person painting exhibition.
The exhibition expresses our innermost need and desire to connect and interact with other beings around us. Together, we learn that we are interdependent on one another – and the processes of this interdependence are the very ones that not only connect, but also carry, our lives.
The exhibition is curated by Sunook Park.
Alyssa Rogers
Artist and ceramist Alyssa Rogers composes her visual poetry from seemingly heterogeneous fragments, juxtaposing the semiotics of highbrow and lowbrow, magical and intellectual, masculine and feminine, ancient and contemporary. Drawing inspirations from TikTok witches, Fritz Lang films, tarot cards, and Hausa Architecture, she embarks on her personal journey to create art that is universally human.
Leslie Barton
Photographer and painter Leslie Barton is drawn to the endless and fascinating stories that generate from the infinite number of interconnections between humans living amongst humans. She interprets these extraordinarily endearing stories from ordinary domestic life through her ‘Thicket’ paintings series – embodying harmony, sympathy, unity, and intimacy, but also sadness, discord, antagonism, and contention. In her ‘Guardian’ series, she gives rise to her own imaginary guardian angels: the personal protectors, or spirits, that keep her loved ones from evil.
