LMAKgallery is presenting their summer group show Vagary of Abstraction, with the works of Rachel Beach, Lisa Beck, Nate Ethier, and Dan Walsh. Playing on the notions of the unexpected and inexplicable change, this exhibit looks at abstraction through this filter and jostles the usual expectation of the term. Having four forces of independent image making, these artists allow for a combination of humor, transcendence, formalism, and quirk to not just twist one’s preconception of abstraction, but to do so with a joy of looking. Rachel Beach’s practice comes out of sculpture: constructed wood forms with plaster, aluminum and resin elements that relate to the figure, and most recently, photographs of hands painted with analogous forms. Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions at institutions and galleries in the United States and Canada
