Paula Wilson: Imago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Denny Dimin Gallery in New York, New York, USA
9 September-29 October 2022<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Imago” is an exhibition of new work by multimedia artist Paula Wilson. With the scope of her wide ranging practice incorporating themes of identity, image making and the natural world, Paula Wilson is an artist who has become sought after for institutional exhibitions and inclusion in important public and private collections. Alongside her exhibition at Denny Dimin Gallery, she is exhibiting within a group exhibition “Plein Air” at MOCA Tucson and has an upcoming solo exhibition “Toward the Sky\u2019s Back Door” at The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs in 2023. In addition, her upcoming Albuquerque Museum show: “Nicola L\u00f3pez and Paula Wilson: Becoming Land” opens October 8th, 2022 and is part of a larger umbrella of shows titled: “Historic and Contemporary Landscapes” including work by Thomas Cole and Kiki Smith. She has also recently had an acquisition placed at Colby College Museum of Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through “Imago”, the gallery space is transformed into the artist\u2019s world, where her multimedia works of large scale collages, tromp l\u2019oeil assemblages, monumental figures and video works are brought to life furthered by wooden sculptural collaborations with her partner Mike Lagg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunflower Night<\/em> by Paula Wilson

The title of the exhibition, \u201cImago\u201d, explores the ideas of imagery, regeneration and reflection. Directly taken from the Latin word meaning image, it relates to a stage of metamorphosis when a winged insect reaches full maturity having morphed from egg to larva to pupa, then moving through imago to adult. There is also a secondary meaning attributed to \u201cImago\u2019\u2019 in psychology where we unconsciously reflect personality traits from formative relationships. Usually this pertains to a parent figure, however, with Wilson she uses it to delve further into her artistic relationship with her partner Lagg, a woodworker who has contributed to this exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
