A Curtain, Not a Door

Dunes is pleased to present A Curtain, Not a Door, a solo exhibition of Meghan Brady's paintings. For this expansive presentation, Brady's new paintings will be displayed in two parts: the first opening March 16 at Mrs. Gallery, Maspeth, NY, with the exhibition's companion opening March 30 at Dunes, Portland, ME. Like the sinking light of late afternoon, advancing between the forest's dark trunks and limbs—a light that seems to observe as well as illuminate—Maine-based painter Meghan Brady's recent work exerts a radiance that is both forthcoming and secretive. Curved, rhythmic shapes welcome the viewer in Brady's compositions, as open as a hand extended in generosity. — Hilary Irons
