Grace Metzler: Naturally Selected

4 jun 202213 aug 2022

In Grace Metzler’s vivid compositions, rendered in oil paint on canvas, the mundane and the mysterious are interconnected. The gestural paintings are visceral, strangely seductive, and hauntingly strange. The protagonists jump rope, play table tennis, ride horses, get married, hang by the creek, throw an American football, and commune together. The landscapes, scenes and interiors have a feel from another time; an older, rural America. But these are modern scenes of familiar pastimes, places and things: trees, barns, rivers, horses and picnics. Idyllic? Not really. Naturally Selected is Metzler’s second solo exhibition with V1 Gallery.
