In the ODD Gallery: Julian Forrest

JULIAN FORREST – In Isolation
February 24 – April 1, 2023
Opening Reception: Friday, February 24th, 6 – 8pm
A studio is like a bubble or a cave in that, if you want, you can stay hidden away from the world for days and weeks, even months on end. I have spent a lot of time holed up in my studio over the last couple of years – sitting in there, painting and drawing and imagining life outside its walls. I started painting bunkers, lunar landers, suburban bungalows, and other “refuges” that I had read about in books or watched in movies as a child in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
