Working primarily from photographs of her close circle, the artist paints intimate scenes of friends and women gathered together, in domestic interiors and now also in nature. Her compositions alternate between full figures and closely framed bodies, playing with variations in scale, light, texture and perspective to explore the gap between what is visible and what remains inaccessible. Through this intimate language, Andy creates images where the bodies of Black and racialized women occupy space on their own terms: at rest, connected to one another, absorbed in moments that don't necessarily belong to the viewer. What emerges from "Going Out" is less an investigation of identity than a study of inner and outer presence. The figures remain aware of themselves and their surroundings, while the paintings show how the space around them influences their visibility, their expression and their thoughts. They look away, rest, touch one another, occupy space and remain partly unknown. Together, they form a free constellation of being rather than a resolved story, a world of images where what is withheld can be as important as what is shown. "Going Out", a solo exhibition by Bre Andy, is presented at the gallery alongside "A Different Measure of Time", a solo exhibition by Pablo Benzo.
