This exhibition of 60 images "explores the complex interchange between [painting and photography], and brings together diverse works by artists Todd Brainard, Miranda Lichtenstein, and James Lorigan, who challenge viewers to look beyond the surface of a work, tilting perceptions out of the comfort zone to create new visions of familiar objects." Includes brief biographies of the artists.
