Wally Workman Gallery will open its third show with painter Jen Garrido. Garrido’s work depicts nature-based forms and rhythms as well as color and shape studies while weighing ambiguity with representation. Her process is that of working with balance: adding and subtracting, abstracting and transforming. For this show, color became a driving force.

Amidst a heavy world, Garrido discovered a need to reconnect with playfulness and youthful exuberance. Electric hues jump off her large canvases and ignite feelings of spurred growth and change, almost like the excitement of adolescence. It’s a body of work that leaves you positive and energized, and right now, that feels really good.

Wally Workman Gallery continues to be open by appointment only. Appointments can be scheduled online at the website.
