PRESS RELEASE

GREAT ESCAPES
A new series of paintings exploring imagined landscapes as spaces of refuge in an overstimulated world.

Taylor Fine Arts presents GREAT ESCAPES, a solo exhibition of new work by Kristi Head. Begun in 2024 amid a growing sense of global instability and personal restlessness, the series reflects a deep longing to step outside the noise and density of urban life and return to the quiet balance found in nature. Unable to leave the city as often as desired, the artist turned to painting as a means of travel, constructing places to inhabit through image and atmosphere.

The works do not depict specific geographic locations. Instead, they emerge as emotional landscapes shaped by memory, sensation, and intuition. Each painting functions as a portal into an expansive, contemplative environment where scale opens outward and time feels suspended. These spaces hold a subtle tension between fullness and emptiness, presence and stillness, offering visual experiences that are both minimal and enveloping.

At its core, GREAT ESCAPES reflects a shared human desire for pause from the constant demands and noise of contemporary life. The paintings propose an alternative rhythm, one of quiet, breath, and perceptual spaciousness. Viewers are invited to move beyond observation and into a slower mode of looking, where the boundaries between inner and outer landscapes begin to soften.

Kristi Head will be present in the gallery throughout the run of the exhibition on select days, offering opportunities for visitors to engage more deeply with the work and its process.
