Press Release

The Painting Center is pleased to present Sarah Hunter, Histories (Recent Paintings) in the Project Room from June 17 - July 12th, 2008.

Sarah Hunter is a still life painter whose work conjures an alternate, or future, animal run world. These pseudo-narratives look to early Renaissance frescoes, illustrations in natural history texts and urban architecture as inspiration. Within the scraped oil paint and inscribed graphite marks of the composition, ideas of displacement, memory and uncertainty are addressed. Sarah Hunter lives and works in Philadelphia. She graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and has shown most recently with the Midwives Collective Gallery and the Rodger Lapelle Gallery (Phila. PA).
