CURRENT EXHIBIT October 14th- December 30th, 2019: Vestiges of Chaos | Reuben Jarvis Mabry
In Vestiges of Chaos: Reflections on War, Reuben created works on paper resulting from an amalgamation of research, recollection and self reflection rooted in his experiences as a US Army attack helicopter pilot while deployed to Afghanistan. By employing painting, drawing, and mark making techniques from Asian and Western art, as well as historical and contemporary movements of abstraction and representation, these pieces bridge verbal and written gaps created by traumatic experiences of war.
These pieces are also vestiges reconstructed from experiences in combat that reclaim the events of the past and bring onus into the present.
