High Noon is pleased to present Theresa Hackett’s third exhibition with the gallery, The Scenic Route. Building on her past two exhibitions that referenced landscape, The Scenic Route explores environmental themes and their relationship to the history of painting to address contemporary issues affecting the natural world and humanity’s connection to it. A procession of mid-sized works on panel wrap from the back of the gallery to the front, creating a non-linear narrative of fictional vignettes with various abstracted landscapes. The mechanisms of these paintings become a metaphor for the concept of looking as both a passive and participatory activity.
