ZOO.Logic+
In Patricia Bellan-Gillen's “ZOO.Logic+” the large-scale paintings feature vast planes of vivid color and masterfully drafted animal imagery. Bellan-Gillen's new works continue a balancing act of realism and abstraction, serious and silly, natural and cultural. Her paintings often incorporate a narrative with symbolic elements that are layered with meaning.
