Christopher Brown and Clare Kirkconnell's concurrent exhibitions at John Berggruen Gallery have sympathetic interests: each artist makes work that quietly reinterprets quintessentially American scenes. Brown uses bold colors to cast his troupes of horse jockeys and outdoorsmen across pastoral hillsides — and occasionally up the sides of buildings. Although Kirkconnell's skyscapes are lined with treetops, powerlines, and distant, fog-clad structures, the temperamental heavens are her portraits' dominant subject. Just as eyes are said to provide insight into the soul, Kirkconnell's skies and Brown's figures are windows onto the country that inspired them.
