Understudies & Auditions : seven paintings, two years in residence

"Understudies & Auditions" at Blue Gallery are paintings and sketches of Peregrine Honig's larger body of work, "Player": seven paintings from a two year residence at Studio inc. "Player" directs the audience into seven theater sets by Honig. Each 6x9 foot oil painting presents life size characters in pigment layered backgrounds waiting for their light. Staring out from the woods, swinging from the moon, hanging by their ankle, the viewer is invited into and out of the dark. The characters and audience are players being played.
