Trudy Benson's 'IM/MATERIAL' at Miles McEnery Gallery
Miles McEnery Gallery presents Trudy Benson's third solo exhibition, 'IM/MATERIAL', featuring vibrant kaleidoscopic abstractions. Benson's shape-making and spatial logic draw on memories of early abstraction via 1990s MacPaint, influenced by saturated colors, pop culture, and New York City spray can graffiti. Her paintings oscillate between digital and analog realms, described by art historian Natalie Haddad as 'bilingualism'—a fluid movement between both worlds. The works exhibit a unique painterliness from Benson's understanding of acrylic and oil paint.
