la BEAST gallery is beyond honored to present ‘By the Bog of Cats I One Day Will Return’, a stunning solo presentation of oil paintings by artist Amy MacKay. In this striking series, MacKay bridges the world of theater and painting, capturing the essence that lives and breathes in the spaces between the spoken realm and the landscape of fixed images. Inspired by Marina Carr’s haunting play ‘By the Bog of Cats’, MacKay explores the depths of visual storytelling, not only by evoking an experience of layer, emotion, and form, but by presenting a perspective that the separation between event and document, is a distinctly fascinating place to devote one's attention. ‘By the Bog of Cats I One Day Will Return’ opens with a reception on Saturday, September 14th, from 6-9 pm at la BEAST gallery in Cypress Park. The show’s conclusion will take place on October 26th.
