Shona McAndrew: Rose-Tinted Glasses

CHART is pleased to present Rose-Tinted Glasses, a solo exhibition by Shona McAndrew, her third at the gallery. Occupying both floors of the gallery, Rose-Tinted Glasses will debut ten paintings and a new larger-than-life-sized sculpture. The exhibition will be on view from February 23 - April 1, 2023.

Following her two previous solo shows at CHART, Muse and Haven, in which McAndrew created intimate portraits of sitters sourced from the artist’s personal life or social media, Rose-Tinted Glasses finds the artist turning toward self-reflective imagery. Here McAndrew presents paintings of herself and her partner, in various states of repose and undress, luxuriating in each other’s presence. Drawing inspiration still from classical compositions by Old Masters, McAndrew’s newest paintings imbue scenes with a certain comfortability and warmth. 

The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring an essay by Charity Coleman.
