In Brigitte McReynold’s solo exhibition, Between Particle Of Matter, canvases unfold like topographical memories—fluid yet grounded, ephemeral yet enduring. The exhibition presents a collection of large-scale paintings that evoke the shifting interplay between water and land, where abstraction mirrors the natural forces shaping our world. Layers of pigment dissolve and converge, recalling the meandering paths of rivers, the sedimentary formations of earth, and the impermanence of movement within stillness.
At its core, the exhibition explores the unseen forces that bind matter together—the energy, tension, and voids that shape existence. Just as the natural world is held together by invisible forces, these paintings hover between form and dissolution, inviting contemplation of the spaces between. They do not merely depict landscapes but suggest an underlying, universal rhythm—an evolving dialogue between solidity and flow, presence and absence, the tangible and the infinite.
Alongside these expansive landscapes, a series of figurative works further explore the energy that holds matter together. These paintings blur the boundaries between the physical self and the energy that extend beyond it. The artist challenges the notion that our being is confined to the body, instead suggesting that human energy radiates outward, merging with the space around us. Here, figures dissolve into their surroundings, becoming part of the same elemental rhythm that moves through land and water—a reminder that we are not separate from nature, but in constant exchange with it.
