Archway Gallery is proud to present a dual exhibit of new paintings by Kay Sarver and Trudy Askew,. Askew’s new body of work is titled Obscure Narratives and Sarver’s is titled Sleepwalking. Houston artist Trudy Askew explores the profound intersection between reality and imagination in her exhibit of new surrealistic paintings, Obscure Narratives. Inspired by old family photographs and albums, news stories, and personal dreams and visions, the work evokes layers of mystery. Secrets and hidden meanings are for the viewer to discover. “I accentuate inscrutability and contradiction,” she says. “I challenge the viewer to resolve the ambiguities of truth and meaning.”
Kay Sarver’s exhibit of new oil paintings, Sleepwalking, is informed by images that sprang from her imagination as she navigated as though sleepwalking through the chaotic nightmare of recent times. “Working this way has felt both vulnerable and comforting in the same moment,” explains Sarver. Drawing in part from a rich imaginative world she retreated to amid stressful times in childhood, her new work also incorporates a fascination with Tarot cards’ archetypes, metaphors, and symbols.
