*Artist Talk (Kerrigan and Fosberg): Saturday, October 17th, 2 pm

In his newest body of work, Kerrigan’s career-long fascination with iconic subject matter leads us to the vistas and terrain surrounding the well-traveled drive along Cline Ave and Highway I-94.  Eerily, though intentionally, devoid of human life form, the paintings remain focused on mankind’s creations: the forms and structures that created this areas identity.  Through Kerrigan’s exhaustive application of numerous layers of paint - creating surfaces rich, sensuous and captivating - the materiality of his work is one of its most expressive and impressive elements. Each brush stroke and palette shift, dynamically ascertain a palpable physicality to each mark.
