Gallery Artist Vickisa presents a lively collection of paintings and artist books that explore its title both metaphorically and close-up-live. A bicycle-riding woman turns towards many doors; a cat turns; a woman dives, twisting towards what looks like a universe of chores. Among the books, you can turn pages—500 of them—to see Vickisa’s 2-minute life-drawing sketches. Also, her giclee-print accordion books feature twisting and turning musicians that she live-sketched at music festivals and finished in the studio. Twists and Turns is also a reference to art practice.
Vickisa writes: Very often, there are unexpected twists and turns in life, difficult landings that ought to have been easy. This seems truer now than ever before. When this happens while painting or making painted drawings, the result can be positive, taking you beyond your original vision and into new places.
