New works by artists Jennifer Cawley, Zuzka Vaclavik and Cara Enteles open at Emily Amy Gallery in “Down the Rabbit Hole: The influence of the Strange and the Familiar.” Cawley draws on the works of Roald Dahl, Lewis Carroll and Henry Darger for inspiration in her mixed media paintings that combine the process of found-object collage and encaustic to explore unearthly moments outside our comfort zone. Working mainly in watercolor, Vaclavik creates post-graffiti, bio-morphic images that playfully expand and contract, with household references that shift into the realm of science fiction. Entele’s paintings on aluminum sheets and acrylic panels investigate the predator/prey relationships in nature as well as man as a destructive force in the natural world.
