Arden Bendler Browning
Places to Be




Tinney Contemporary is pleased to present new works by Arden Bendler Browning. Browning’s work explores connections and gaps between memory and presence, the impossibility of landscape as a singular idealized image, and the way that digital media effects perception. Whereas squares and rectangles can feel like layered snapshots, circles can feel like a video camera lens. You are in the space of the painting, without needing to gradually enter that illusion.  

The marks and imagery within these paintings are sometimes abstract and blurred, sometimes referential and sharp.  Environments fold into themselves and then flatten out toward a different realm or gesture. While navigating the pathways throughout these paintings, one may become disoriented, righted, and keep moving.  Marks can recede far away and then crash up to the surface.


Browning’s own wanderlust, leading her to varied, remote and far flung adventures, contrasted with the everyday reality of endless construction surrounding her home and studio in Philadelphia, have influenced the contrasts and distortions in this group of paintings.  Additionally, these paintings were created alongside Browning’s recent investigations of virtual reality painting. The excitement of being able to paint in virtual 3-D space (and its infinite boundaries) has heightened her desire to combine the imaginary with the familiar, and to push a sense of spatial immersion for the viewer.
