Exhibition Opening: Alison Underwood, "The impossibility of never"

We are pleased to present the exhibition “The impossibility of never” (February 27 – May 27, 2020), featuring the work of emerging 2D mixed media artist Alison Underwood. This exhibition is a special collaboration between art platform Landing Contemporary Art and Form + Flow, a new gallery in Long Island City. Please join us for the opening reception on February 27 at 6:30pm.

Working across many practices, including painting, printmaking, collage, and digital, Underwood manifests a fascination with desire, dreams, and longing through the integration of richly layered symbolism in her work. Hyperreal hair, ropes, disembodied limbs, fabric, plants, portals, and flat geometries figure prominently, threading a path between the real and the mystical that is rendered more sublime by the lack of solid ground represented. These seemingly disparate elements create an aura of unrequited passion; a longing for something that transcends this world.
