WHO:
Steve Imrich and Kathryn Geismar are two painters whose work explores themes of memory, identity, place, and the self. Imrich, a former architect and pilot, paints sweeping views of landscapes shaped by both nature and design, while Geismar draws from her experience as a psychologist and mother to create deeply personal portraits of her children.
WHAT:
The Paul Dietrich Gallery, founded within CambridgeSeven as an extension of its cross-disciplinary design ethos, presents SOMEWHERE | SOMEONE. The show brings together the distinct yet complementary painting practices of Steve Imrich and Kathryn Geismar. Imrich’s aerial views of natural and built landscapes meet Geismar’s intimate portraits of her children, creating a compelling exploration of how we connect to place and to one another. Both artists revisit familiar imagery, shifting between detail and whole to uncover new ways of seeing and understanding the world around us.
EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS:
- Rarely do two such distinct practices, one mapping the world from above and one mapping it from within, speak so clearly to one another:
- Imrich's large-scale paintings draw on his experience as a pilot and architect, presenting the landscape from unusual vantages that entangle nature with design and architecture
- Geismar's intimate portraits explore motherhood, memory, and identity, mining the endlessly shifting terrain of her children's faces and presence
As ideas of home, identity, and belonging continue to shift, SOMEWHERE | SOMEONE invites viewers to explore how we locate ourselves – in landscape, family, and memory – through the eyes of two masterful painters
