Tia Halliday, on exhibit at Herringer Kiss Gallery in Calgary, uses her dance and performance background as a touchstone for her figurative abstract paintings. Above: Up-Lifting, 2023, acrylic & oil on canvas, 62 x 84″
Called “choreographed abstractions” Halliday’s paintings depict physical gestures of care between humans.
Figures captured through lyrical line, bearing the weight of one another through daring acts of physical support, suggest themes of connectivity, responsibility, and care, the gallery says in notes for this exhibition, which runs through Oct. 7.
