Coming Soon // “All Things Considered: The Work Of Heather Edgar” Opens February 6, Reception February 14.
Following in the footsteps of pop painter John Wesley, Heather Edgar’s work enjoys a sparseness and sign-like flatness often associated with illustration work. Her limited palette only reinforces the minimalism inherent in her paintings and drawings. But unlike Wesley’s work, Edgar’s pieces are primarily about love, self and landscape.
