The Center for Contemporary Art & Culture at PNCA is thrilled to announce A Brutal Affair, a solo exhibition by Portland-based artist Avantika Bawa on view from March 2 – April 6, 2024. All events and exhibition viewing are free and open to the general public.
A Brutal Affair displays new works on paper and large-scale installation centered on Avantika Bawa’s queries into the intersections between drawing and sculpture, minimalist traditions and affects of space, place and site.
This exhibition merges selections of two ongoing bodies of works by the artist: A Brutal Affair and The Scaffold Series. A new series of four silkscreen and lithograph prints, published at the Watershed Center for Print Publishing and Research during Avantika’s 2023 Artist Residency, exemplify the artist’s ongoing explorations on Brutalist architecture. Bawa writes, “The formal and architectural qualities of these buildings, along with their histories, functions, and cultural impacts, fascinate me, and I want to remind the viewer how lines, hard edges, and uncomplicated geometry can be beautiful.”
