'The Figure' January 19, 2011

A debut traveling exhibition by fifteen painters from around the country, showcasing multiple oil paintings of the figure. The painters of the Midwest Paint Group share a commitment to Post Abstraction Figuration. They all base motifs upon either direct or recalled perception of the visible. The work is as personally unique as the membership. They recognize historical precedents in painting by assimilation the most complex and beloved elements achieved by painters they admire.
