"The left and right sides of the brain—often accepted as separate domains—merge in these works to form a unified, complex narrative about our existence and inevitable mortality."Northeast Ohio artist Kit Palencar says "Through these paintings and drawings, I aim to question how we, as conscious beings, engage with our own impermanence. Can the cerebral and the organic find harmony? This exhibition invites viewers to witness that tension, and perhaps, to feel at home in it."
Palencar currently teaches and serves as the Exhibitions Manager at the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center. Read more about the artist and this exhibit at: https://john-strauss-furniture.myshopify.com/collections/kit-palencar
