'Remains'
Hilary Gent: Aftermath
March 7 Through April 20
At the Maria Neil Art Project Gallery in the Waterloo Arts District
The body of work that Hilary Gent is currently immersed in is a series of paintings and assemblages inspired by the aftermath of a fire that burned a 20,000 square foot industrial building across the street from her 78th Street studio. A fire that came dangerously close to claiming that very studio. The initial impact of the fire created a solidified memory, which Gent has attempted to interpret and preserve through the process of collage, sketching and painting. The very first works, immediately after the fire, showed crisp, detailed images of the disaster. The most recent works – separated by time and life experiences –present a far more abstract representation of the traumatic reality of that night, and that point in her life.
Hilary Gent graduated from Kent State University in 2003, earning a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree with a concentration on painting. She spent several years working in special events with Pieter Bouterse Studio in many creative capacities, always painting in her spare time. She opened her own gallery in 2009 at the 78th Street Studios. HEDGE Gallery features the work of emerging Cleveland artists and hosts innovative special events. Gent’s work is a part of the Cleveland Clinic collection as well as many private collections.
The gallery is located at 15813 Waterloo Road and is open Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm with other hours by appointment.
