RUTHANN is pleased to present Alone with the Moon, a three-person exhibition featuring the work of Biff Elrod, Kathryn Lynch and Enrico Riley. These painters present wonders that emerge from the mundane and sublime; they use the practice of painting to cultivate a sense of timelessness within the human experience. Kathryn Lynch evokes the humbling sensation that we often seek in nature; painting visions that feel both ineffable and personal. Biff Elrod’s recent work gives us glimpses of urban humans surrounded by others, coexisting en masse. Elrod is a humanist painter, and works from photographs he takes anonymously, creating something cinematic from a snapshot. In his recent work Enrico Riley explores the meditative practice of painting over and through time, focusing on handled, folded paper. Rileys states, “The paintings allow me to observe myself looking.” Through the ancient technology of painting, meaning and self awareness are built and maintained as the painter captures a moment in the brain, eyes, body, while moving liquid color on a surface.
