Izzy Cho

This joint exhibit features new work by emerging artists Izzy Cho and Lainey Peltier. While very different in style and subject, their work is similar in the way that it develops. Their processes often include repetition and mimicry, which serve as ways to dig deeper into the meaning of what each artist is exploring in their art. 

Cho’s mixed media on paper work is meant to be a commentary on her Korean American heritage, celebrating earnest but humorous attempts to pay homage to her transnational upbringing. Peltier’s work, on the other hand, is focused on what she sees in the world around her. She alters and then rearranges what she observes as part of an open-ended exploration. While Peltier studied printmaking and works extensively in that medium, this body of work is her first foray into painting. 

We hope you will stop by to see this wonderful work during the month of March!
