MFA Thesis Show "Interiority Complex"
Barbara and Steven Grossman Gallery, SMFA
July 12–27, 2013
Reception + Artist Talks: July 11, 5:30–8 pm

Lindsey Kocur's mixed media paintings synthesize encounters with the built environment in all its forms. Constructed from the ruins of old pictorial language, her imagined spaces mimic seductive, flawless representations of life, while hand-painted surfaces reveal a human quality persisting amidst longing for perfection and control. "Interiority Complex" brings new perspectives to these two-dimensional works, not only by addressing surrounding structural features on the panel, but also transforming portions of the very same architecture into a painting itself.

Kocur is working towards her MFA degree at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Studio Art from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York and studied abroad at Studio Art Centers International in Florence, Italy. She is also currently exhibiting in "Reveal" at The Hallway Gallery in Boston, on view through August 24, 2013.
