The five paintings featured in Alex Heilbron’s Time and Intent are part of a larger body of work she began prior to, and completed after, the onset of the pandemic. The various patterning techniques that guide this work facilitate distillation of concepts like adolescence, decay and movement into notions of temporality. Not unlike the specular aspect of a graph, these paintings find a balance in transition between dualisms: order and chaos, active and passive, before and after.

Time and Intent is on view through March 27 @ Meliksetian | Briggs 313 N Fairfax Avenue
