Robert Mann is pleased to announce representation of artist Holly Andres. Her first solo show at the gallery this Fall will include photographs from her series Sparrow Lane. Andres's previous body of work, Stories from a Short Street, was exhibited earlier this year at the Missoula Art Museum and her films have been featured in numerous film festivals as well as the 2006 Oregon Biennial at the Portland Art Museum.

Displaying a rich understanding of color and composition, Andres's tableaux depict young women on the threshold of adulthood, propelled by their curiosity and sense of discovery. Drawing equally upon Hitchcockian cinematic tropes and Nancy Drew dust jackets, Andres's stunning photographs plumb psychological depths that are as quixotic as they are visually seductive. Each accumulated series suggests elliptical narratives, but any resolution is elusive, and the pleasure of viewing instead draws upon their allusive and metaphorical qualities.

We hope you can join us at the opening of Andres's exhibition, October 23, to get to know the work of this exciting young artist. Check back soon for more information.
