Gearbox Gallery presents Creatures of Duality, an exhibit of paintings by member artist Jamie Treacy. In this series of works on panel and canvas, Treacy approaches the theme of “duality” by painting in contrasting styles and by creating tension between opposing forces. In this collection, Treacy juxtaposes painting from life with painting from the imagination. Mining the imagery and sensations of being in the ocean (Treacy is an avid swimmer and a novice scuba diver), the works are inhabited with creatures that resist clear identification. In Treacy’s words: “I’m part of a rich lineage of queer artists that use their hands and minds to forge a space for strange dualities: kindness and treachery; opulence and desiccation; kinship and solitude.”
