Gordon Smith Gallery

Reframed: Painting and Collage by Tiko Kerr. Throughout his more than 30 year-long career, Kerr has explored the concept of perception through painting. His most recent works continue along this line of inquiry while drawing on images from art history and popular culture to explore the contemporary moment of widespread unrest and trauma. The distinctive wobbly style he developed and honed with his past work has been left behind and in its place is a deft handling of historically expressionist painterly styles, recontextualized for today’s social and political climate.

• May 8-Aug. 31, opening reception and book launch May 25, 2 p.m.
