High Noon is pleased to present Passengers the gallery’s second exhibition of paintings by Amanda Church. In Church’s newest work, her structural amalgamations become fleshy architectonic compositions evoking a confluence of movement and stasis. Each painting embodies a figure, or at least the sense of one, in various abstracted and indeterminate scenarios that intimate recent dynamics of chaos and confinement. The hand-rendered edges of Church’s linear topography read as both boundary and restraint; interior and exterior spaces merge and are dispersed among kaleidoscopic bodily fragments. Long, sweeping gestures lead the eye through the composition only to be stopped cold by graphic planes or detoured by intercepting lines. Formally and metaphorically, she conveys the passenger’s experience: immobile observation, the anticipation of the unknown, the romance of surrender.
