Paradigm Gallery + Studio is pleased to present Around the Block, a solo exhibition of work spanning four years by illustrator Branche Coverdale. Curated by Ginger Rudolph of HAHA Magazine, Coverdale’s debut solo exhibition explores experiencing radical optimism while living in urban environments through the use of his distinct visual language; developed from his travels across major cities around the world and a career as a commercial artist. This exhibition features 8 acrylic gouache paintings on panel and 4 paintings on paper, capturing Coverdale’s unique stylized figures inspired by cartoons from his childhood as well as an installation designed to envelop visitors in the surreal environments of his pieces. Coverdale’s artistic practice of allowing different mediums to push his compositions blurs the line between commercial illustration and fine art.
