Mythic Muses

Zepster Gallery is pleased to present Mythic Muses, opening on May 23rd and running through June 22nd. This captivating show features the works of four women artists—Grace Bromley, Catie Dillon, Annie Goldman, and Maya Perry—whose paintings delve into the enchanting worlds of folklore, mythology, and fairy tales. Inspired by legendary stories such as "The Princess and the Pea" and other mythic and folkloric narratives, this exhibition explores themes of perception, identity, and imagination. Each artist brings her unique voice and visual language to these timeless tales, blending tradition with contemporary perspectives.

 

Grace Bromley brings together various modes of critique about gender and selfhood, particularly through the lens of archetypal fairytale, myth and folklore, as well as questioning idealistic notions of individualism and self-reflection in the West. Her work is imbued with a dark sense of humor and through body language lays bare basic human emotions, such as fear, anger, loneliness, and desire.

 

Catie Dillon's use of line wraps around the canvas and her use of manipulating depth of field creates a world of its own.  She has been awarded artist residencies at Open Wabi Residency in Fredericktown, Ohio, Fish Factory Residency in Stodvarfjordur, Iceland, PADA Studios in Barreiro, Portugal, Wassaic Project in Wassaic, New York, and ProjectArt ArtCorps Residency in New York, New York.

 

Annie Louise Goldman explores biblical and kabbalistic themes through a personal midrash. Animals perform manifold functions in the paintings; monkeys are pre-expulsion from Eden humans, cats and people undergo spiritual metamorphosis on a journey to talk to God, and a whale's digestive tract breaks down and reconstructs language itself.

 

Maya Perry is a  graduate of the Yale University MFA program in Painting/Printmaking. She spent her formative years performing experimental music both collaboratively and as a solo artist. Her animated films have been screened at international festivals, including Tricky Women in Vienna and Lago Film Fest in Italy.
