Efraín López is pleased to announce Metamorphosis Ball, an exhibition of new works by visual artist, Braxton Garneau. The exhibition will be on view from September 3 through October 12, 2024. For his first solo exhibition at the gallery, Garneau will present a new series of paintings, continuing his exploration of materiality and costuming. For this body of work, Garneau has employed the use of arched canvases to create portals that collapse cultural and historical elements into complex portraits of armor and adornment. Garneau’s interest in materiality is specifically drawn out in the lace details of these works, made from hand processed shells piped into imagined lace patterns. Integrating three-dimensional costuming elements with gestural asphalt forms, Garneau is interested in both self-adornment and thinking about masquerade as a disruptive tool for social change.
An opening reception will take place on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, from 6 to 8pm.
Metamorphosis Ball is accompanied by an essay authored by Hilary Davidson, a dress, textiles and fashion historian and curator, and chair of the MA Fashion and Textile Studies at the School of Graduate Studies at FIT.
