PHILADELPHIA- Tiger Strikes Asteroid is pleased to
announce the opening of its July exhibition, Proof of My
Unknowing Eyes, featuring the works of Susan Bricker
and Amy Beecher.
The showʼs essayist, Jeffrey Scott Mathews, notes:
In the work of Amy Beecher and Susan Bricker, we are presented with visual criteria
establishing both presence and absence in the material and in the immaterial. In both of the artistsʼ work, there is a manipulation of paint, yet there exists an elusive and supernatural component to the work that suggests a tenuous relationship with the traditional or fundamentalist modes of abstraction and representation.
About the artists:
Amy Beecher received her MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University and
her BA, Visual Art with Honors, Brown University, Providence, RI. She has exhibited
and curated widely in the United States and currently resides in New York City. A
portion of Amy Beecher's work for this exhibition was expertly printed by Philadelphia Photo Arts Center.
