Thai Mainhard: Off the Ground
Gilman ContemporaryIn Thai Mainhard’s exhibition "Off the Ground" vibrant, frenetic colors are collaged, painted, and drawn onto canvases that show a sense of composition and experience. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and based in Los Angeles, California, Mainhard’s personal exploration of place seeps into each of her paintings. In her newest body of work Mainhard embraces tangible objects through an exploration of the composed still life. Expressively rendered maximalist spaces are filled with swatches of bright color, checkered table clothes, and patterned vases of loosely rendered botanicals offer a lingering invitation. These composed paintings are the physical embodiment of the artists internal world and life experience, harnessing the tension between chaos and order, figurative composition, and expressive abstraction.

The final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is due out in Spring 2024 for public comment, and a record of decision on the project is anticipated in the summer.

Proponents of the project, meanwhile, cite the need for such large-scale projects to transition the U.S. away from fossil fuels and to mitigate the effects of climate change.
