Pinch, features new work from artists Amelia Biewald and Terrence Payne at Rosalux Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Pinch By Amelia Biewald
Amelia Biewald’s intimate and haunting watercolor paintings are derived from photographs taken on her recent Grand Tour of Northern Italy. Harking back to a desire to find a connection with a legacy of classical antiquity once shared by many 18th century europeans, Biewald examines the tradition of the search for an assumed cultural heritage in order to break free of cultural hegemony at home. The Wedgewood inspired impressions Biewald has created for Pinch revisit the obsessive nature of seizing on past legacies and relate to a modern desire to appropriate the exotic into the increasingly banal of a shrinking world. Find out more about Amelia and her work at her website.
