PANDEMIC TIMES

Peel is pleased to present Truth in the Time of COVID, a show of abstract collage-paintings by Chieko Murasugi. Conceived amid the COVID19 lockdown, her works respond to current ideological and temporal forces by creating tension between formal and material elements. Employing visual illusions and painterly forms reminiscent of puzzle pieces, Murasugi constructs a diverse and optimistic unity. Given the current barrage of discordant views about what is fact or fiction, this is an opportune moment to ponder, and strive to resolve—what is truth/true?
