Park Life is pleased to announce a new exhibition of paintings by Holly Williams and Justin Gabbard.
This show represents some interesting differences from our past program. Although Holly and Justin's work are linked to past shows through the commonality of a narrative mode, their work differs in style and theme. Rather than representing ideas through well defined symbols, actions and characters, Holly and Justin use banal everyday images to convey their ideas.
