In his third solo-exhibition with the gallery, renowned Scottish artist Kenny Hunter alters conventions of monumental sculpture to describe tensions between the natural world and the man-made environment. In his signature style, the artist reveals nature's adaptations to human encroachment. In the title piece, Like Water in Water, a young stag gracefully steps through a discarded tire, as it crosses an imaginary pool of water. Hunter's screenprints of philosophical and poetic quotes mediate our reflection on the theme of survival amid cycles of production and decay.

An opening night reception will be held Saturday, May 30th: 6-8pm. Artist in attendance.
