For her second exhibition at Kavi Gupta Gallery, Clare Rojas returns with a carefully conceived installation of her distinctive gouache paintings, merging a rustic folk-art style with the self-assured polish of a savvy illustrator. Her works have the feeling of fairy tales, with birds, animals, and shifty-eyed humans appearing as players in obscure but fateful undertakings. And, in classic fairy-tale form, there's also a darker side to the plucky proceedings, hovering like an ominous shadow. Ranging in scale from intimate to mural-sized, Rojas' paintings are presented here within a larger hand-crafted environment; smaller works hang from a row of pegs against a blue-painted wall, decorated with wooden moldings, while a nearby bookshelf sports a rogue's gallery of head-and-shoulder portraits.
