Interface Gallery is pleased to present Quiet Riot, a solo exhibition of new work by Lana Williams. For this exhibition, Williams presents a series of colorful, shaped paintings housed within powder coated, angular steel frames. The stretched, shaped canvases do not fit their frames, evoking tension between forms and painted space. At times, the paintings even extend beyond the frame, integrating with the space around them and expanding into something part sculptural and part installation. The queering of form results in works that resist expectations and negotiate the politics of painting and identity.
