Flourishing:
Paintings by Wendy Edwards
The Currier presents eight large-scale paintings by New England artist Wendy Edwards (b. 1950) in the museum’s new Concourse Gallery. Let yourself be taken in by the grandeur of these sweeping canvasses, depicting abstract flora and human forms rendered with rich and surprising colors. With a commitment to expressivity and the luscious material qualities of oil paint, these works assert Edwards’ place within a lineage shaped by Edouard Manet, Vincent van Gogh, and Georgia O’Keeffe.
