Megan Mulrooney is pleased to present Depth of Surface, UK-based artist Imogen Allen's first solo exhibition at the gallery. Allen's paintings explore the energetic terrain of our conscious and subconscious experience through the physical language of color, shape and gesture. Her paintings - often depicting close up renderings of butterfly wings - are luminous, meditative portals that embrace the physicality of our earth as a pathway to the spiritual, transcendental experience.

Having grown up near Zennor, South West Cornwall, on the edge of a moorland of lichen blanketed standing stones and ethereal grasses, Allen sees the human relationship to wildness, as central to the architecture of our being. Her work is informed deeply by this profound connection to the voices of the natural world; the characteristics of plants, fungi and the elements constantly inform the direction of her paintings.
