ABOUT THE WORKS ON VIEW

The human figure serves as a vehicle for creative expression in works by Anne-Marie Kornachuk, Eric Theodore, and Courtney Murphy. Each artist uniquely approaches the human body as a dimensional form in physical space, but also more deeply beyond its surface.

The body is a multi-dimensional metaphor. Exploring the connection (or division) between our in-public presence (and our in-private identities) yields an existential quest for balance between a need for strength and a desire for vulnerability.

Eric Theodore
Progression, 2025
Oil on panel, 42” x 36”

Eric Theodore’s airborne divers perform as metaphors charged with a quiet intensity that bridges the universal tension between aspiration and surrender, between flying and falling. He states "I explore the body as a poetic composition, charged with emotions that are universal yet deeply personal.”

Together, these artists invite viewers into an intimate dialogue with the human condition. Their works resonate across psychological and physical dimensions, social and gender-based boundaries, and suggest that the body itself is a site of continual discovery that mirrors our collective search for meaning and resilience, community and privacy, power and grace.
