Turley Gallery is delighted to present Specificities, an exhibition of Evan Halter’s newest body of work. Often referencing historical works, he selects mundane objects-an insect, an architectural niche, florals, or a billow of fabric and emphasizes them in a voyeuristic way, leaving the viewer to fill in for themselves the gaps he creates. Devoted to his practice, Halter’s slow and layered approach to painting mimics the content of his work, navigating the realities of our mortal coils and pleasures.
