As these artists continue to develop new work, each has entered a moment between full one-person exhibitions; the paintings are new, fresh, cohesive but unlikely to be shown in the artists’ 2008 exhibitions. In Between celebrates not only this mid-show moment, but the artists’ shared characteristic of dichotomy; abstraction and representation, color and line, intellect and instinct.

Lisa Buchanan utilizes a lyrical line and bold palette to produce subtly structured paintings inspired
by what she describes as a tension between chaos and order. Buchanan’s imagery remains a consistent
mix of line, pattern, and color, but it runs the gamut from anxious and frenetic to calm and sensuous.

Tram Bui’s paintings of buildings shrouded in scaffolding turn the mundane and overlooked into ordered
lines layered over complex geometric patterning and seductive hues. Her dichromatic silhouettes are beautifully
orchestrated, showing a talent for composition and draftsmanship while employing abstract tendencies through
the simple grids and blocks of the building’s structure and mass.

Mary Iverson’s paintings reduce container terminals to a complex network of overlapping planes and
construction lines in dramatic perspective. Conceptually, her work deals with issues of accumulation,
industry, time and ambiguity. Her newest paintings continue an evolution toward abstraction with fewer
horizon lines and literal references.
