While the artists’ oversized works fill the gallery rooms with plenty of brushstrokes to muse over, the other two artists in the show, Aglaé Bassens and Julia Maiuri, contributed smaller yet equally dynamic pieces. Despite the size of Paggi House, Ellis and Force’s selection and placement of works successfully fill each room without overwhelming guests. There’s the large courtyard space, as well as the rooms of the original Greek Revival home.
Bassens shares three paintings based on photographs, each depicting familiar scenes expressed through a soft, muted palette. Night Laundry, for instance, elevates an everyday moment and seems to suspend time.
