JILL POYOUROW: RED BIKINI AND OTHER WORKS
Poyourow’s paintings are derived from photographs, such as old family snapshots and prints from old encyclopedias. Devoting time to re-creating images captured in an instant, she dives deep into moments and reflects on tensions between personal and universal. Through Sept. 15.
