Allison Gildersleeve's 2012 Solo Exhibition at Asya Geisberg Gallery Explores Landscape Painting
Allison Gildersleeve's exhibition 'Let Me Show It To You Unfixed' took place at Asya Geisberg Gallery in NYC from February 23 to April 7, 2012. This showcase included nine oil and alkyd paintings created between 2011 and 2012, offering a fresh interpretation of New England's woodlands through a lively color scheme. Gildersleeve, who earned her MFA from Bard in 2004, emphasizes improvisational mark-making that reflects her artistic intent. Notable pieces include 'Thin Line' (3 ft wide) and 'Squall' (68 by 72 in), demonstrating energetic paint application. Works such as 'Candyland' (58 by 54 in) display vivid hues, while 'Slippery Pink' (52 by 52 in) features subdued tones, questioning the significance of landscape painting. A video on Gorky's Granddaughter's website provides additional insights.
