Patterns of Life presents work by Dutch contemporary painter Francien Krieg. Drawing from multiple series, the pieces convey the artist's frank and abiding interest in the human body. Birth and growth are captured as magical if fleeting experiences, eventually giving way to maturity, wisdom, and one's reckoning with mortality. Our bodies are records of all that we've done. Krieg commemorates each scar and wrinkle a righteous reminder of what it means to live.
