Symmetrical Balance The Symmetrical Truce, acrylic on maple panel
Opening Sat, October 25, 2008 (6-9pm) Fecal Face Dot Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Symmetrical Balance, a solo exhibition of new paintings on maple panel and hand painted prints, by San Francisco artist Tiffany Bozic. Bozic is widely recognized for her tightly rendered, emotionally charged nature-scapes. Blending traditional painting technique with unlikely combinations of, and interactions between animals and their environment, Bozic's paintings lead the viewer into a surreal, metaphorical and often harsh world. Using a complex process of masking and staining maple surfaces, Bozic conveys a luminous and pristine representation of her vision of life's struggles and triumphs. Symmetrical Balance is a continuation of her investigation into the human relationship with the natural world. Allegorical paintings illustrate the notion that all living things share basic needs and desires: to preserve our fragile body, to forage, to nurture and protect our family. Revealing the interdependency between predators and prey, humans and our environment, Symmetrical Balance exposes the equilibrium that must be maintained between self-preservation and the other life upon which we depend. Bozic's work is informed by both interactions with living organisms she has encountered during extensive world travels and her continued research of the specimens collections at the California Academy of Sciences.
