Gross McCleaf Gallery is delighted to present its first solo exhibition of Maren Less.
In her paintings, Less explores the relationship between inner and outer worlds through symbolic imagery. Crowded scenes of cars, trees, animals, ladders, fruit, houses, and planes converge to form dynamic narratives that reflect the layered, often subconscious, nature of lived experience.
Each completed painting is paired with a poem, offering an additional lens through which she uncovers meaning in her imagery. Less describes her works as emerging intuitively, shaped more by impulse than by direct reference. By balancing chaos and order, density and openness, Less creates imaginative spaces that mirror the complexities of thought and feeling, inviting viewers into landscapes at once personal and universal.
Opening Reception:
Saturday, September 13, 1 - 4 pm
