About the Item

Emily Joyce Pantomime, 2015 acrylic and mirror on canvas 59 1/2 x 47 inches Pantomime is part of a new body of work called "The Masks". Joyce is an artist who explores the space between vernacular visual idioms and geometric abstraction through various combinations of mediums and formats. In The Masks, a theatrical mix of painting and sculpture populate the exhibition, with works that mine twentieth century art history, universal symbols, and the 16th century Italian theater form commedia dell’arte, all in one breath. The works in the exhibition reference components of a set or characters in a play; portals, mirrors and frames set the stage, with works titled as characters such as La Mere, La Pere, Juggler, Pantomime, Harlequin and Leonora. The tension between repetition and improvisation are central to the exhibition.
