Locks Gallery is pleased to present In the Garden (1980–83), an exhibition that reunites an exemplary grouping of the acclaimed paintings from Jennifer Bartlett’s early 1980s series alongside relevant works on paper and editions. Jennifer Bartlett: In the Garden (1980-83) catalog author Gregory Volk notes, “The remarkable thing is how this exhaustive and systematic, yet extremely diverse anatomy of a banal backyard scene winds up so emotive and complicatedly human, suffused with longing and alienation, grace and agitation, loveliness and unease.” Bartlett’s In the Garden continues to reveal its true urgency through of the artist’s cinematic relationship to painting from photographs, the felt curiosity for pictorial representation, and dialogue with the many languages in painterly history.
