FINDING BEAUTY
Gayle Kabaker’s exhibition Finding Beauty features a collection of her illustrative paintings spanning her commercial work, New Yorker Magazine covers, and non-commercial artwork.
Kabaker has mastered visual storytelling through her distinctive color palette and her minimalistic approach of capturing form and movement. Each of her works acts as a narrative which reveals both the bold and subtle ways that beauty is found in everyday life.
Her work ‘Jump’, for example, shows a woman leaping off the edge of a dock into a body of water, and tells a story of liberation and risk-taking. Similarly, her work ‘Diane’ of a woman sitting under a veranda next to a swimming pool with her dogs, depicts personal respite and reflection.
This notion of beauty is also prevalent in her allegoric subject matter drawing from more ‘feminine' concepts such as water, flowers, and the color red.
Kabaker’s work teaches us to seek out and discover beauty in our own lives to enhance its meaning and richness.
