Alana LaPoint: Envie

First Floor Gallery, July 11 – August 30, 2019
Opening Reception July 11, 5-7 pm

Alana LaPoint’s collaged monoprints manage to channel the power and drama of teenage angst into intricate, layered compositions. Her varied techniques include writing directly on printing plates and painting with the bottom of a paint bottle, and then printing, cutting, and collaging images to form works that are prints, drawings, and sculptures all at once. Her carefully composed rage doesn’t need to explain itself, conveying both the organic physicality of bodies and the stark, graphic quality of a breakup through abstraction. These pieces tell you everything you need to know – but you don’t get to know her.
