Honing In: Martha Shaw @ pt.2 Gallery, Oakland
pt.2 is pleased to present Honing In, a new exhibition of oil paintings by Martha Shaw. In Honing In, Martha Shaw turns her attention to a small group of subjects—a pair of trees, a yellow house, a beachside building, and a recurring calla lily. Painted on canvas at intimate scale, these forms appear again and again, subtly shifting in light, texture, and composition. Each repetition becomes a way of deepening focus, of searching for what lingers beneath the surface of the everyday.
