GAVLAK Palm Beach is pleased to present Alexis Teplin’s solo exhibition, Come, stare, she makes a gesture. Raised in the Bay Area, and currently based in London, Teplin examines the complexities of place, gender, and diaspora through painting composed in correspondence with a multigenerational lineage of artists and writers. Teplin, informed by an investigation of Californian history, utilizes the stitched, warm palette of feminized interior spaces within images of the West’s dramatic topography. In this exhibition of new work, Teplin investigates her origins, creating vivid, earthy abstractions that probe conceptions of the frontier.
