Description
For Shields’s first solo show at Triple Base, she will create an eerie yet ethereal environment, exploring the idea of psychic homelessness. Through a mythological narrative, Shields ponders the impermanence of life and the human need to wander. The installation will highlight Shields’s signature illustrative drawings and paintings of ghosts, orphans, animals and spirits. The artist will also be the first to extend her installation down into the gallery’s cavernous “Triple Basement”, employing descent mythology to depict the soul's journey into darkness and then back into light.A Dinner Lecture Series event in conjunction with this exhibition will take place in a comfortable off-site location on Friday, September 5th featuring guest chef Wendy Van Wagner. Seating is limited. RSVP to [email protected].
Christine Shields has a BFA in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute. She was a featured artist in Bay Area Now 4 (2005) at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
