The Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery is pleased to present the group exhibition Shape-shifter:Drawing from Observation, featuring four artists who turn the common notion of observational drawing as "drawing what you see" on its head. In their works, everyday scenes and objects are observed, analyzed, recreated, transformed, and metamorphosed, creating pictures that present reality as uncommon. With a mix of fascination for the everyday and a vivid imagination that lead us out of it, Shape-shifter presents the ordinary in and extraordinary way.
