Feature Inc presents Food Paintings, an exhibition by Tracy Miller.

Sometimes I think Tracy Miller paintings examine the way subtle levels of energy—waves and particles—suddenly and unexpectedly develop into gross level matter—pineapples, bundt cakes, doilies, lobsters, pigs, a six-pack of Budweiser… That development is related to the way she muses her busy if not chaotic universes with an erratic punctuation of the magnetic force of objects. The appearance of the recognizable object is used to momentarily organizes the experience of the painting. And at that moment the disparate nature of things stops and it becomes clear that all the elements are essentially quite similar: made of paint, related in color and shape, with equal intentionality and intensity… The artist’s sense of adventure runs through every level of these paintings and at times borders on the magical poof. Here it is, now have a taste of this!
