P·P·O·W is pleased to present Running Water, Elizabeth Glaessner’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. In this exhibition, water becomes an inescapable force dissolving the boundaries between body, landscape, memory, and the present in an incessant flood. Glaessner utilizes poured pigments mixed with various mediums and layers of rich oil paint, mimicking the fluidity of water, to create permeable narratives in which figures continuously ebb between formal articulation and non-representational gesture. Throughout this new series of large-scale paintings and works on paper, Glaessner submerges moments of miraculous transformation in dreamlike landscapes where the lines between birth, death, creation, and excretion are porous and ever-changing.
