Abstract
SHFAP presents (T)ides, a group show featuring works by Gideon Bok, Gregory Botts, Susanna Coffey, Daniel Herr and Susan Lichtman. These artists play with aspects of representation; blending painterly bravado, bold chroma and a mastery of surface. They are mature practitioners and often committed teachers. The featured works embody a shared process of expanding the perimeters of representational painting; Coffey, Lichtman, Herr, Botts and Bok introduce elements of mythology, memory and time to the tradition of painting of life, resulting in work made in the space between story and reality.
