Liberty Realm

5/5 ( ratings)

The fascinating phantasmal worlds in the work of the artist Cathy Ward.

Pulsing and surging with dark energies, Cathy Ward's mesmerising drawings capture a restlessly inquiring spirit through the meticulous rendering of organic forms. Their mystery, emotional depth, and enveloping sensuality recall an occluded art-historical canon of weird psychedelia, hermetic alchemical illustrations and outsider horror vacui. Liberty Realm presents a broad survey of works ranging from the acclaimed drawings exhibited recently in "Phantasmata" at The Good Luck Gallery , "Talespinning" at the Drawing Center , "Romantic detachment" at PS1 MOMA and "Utopia" at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center , to new explorations and insightful glimpses of her earlier output and formative practice. Substantial essays by Doug Harvey and Robert Wallis further untangle these fascinating phantasmal worlds.
