Though Rachel Gregor's paintings of teenage girls experiencing the summer before highschool foreground her figures' angst and dread, the opening reception of her solo exhibition Still Summer was full of warmth, comradery, and a sigh of relief that that period of life had passed (at least for most attendees). Thank you to all our guests-friends, family, artists, and acquaintances alike-for filling the night with boundless moments of joy and celebration. Though the evening couldn't last forever, the figures in Gregor's paintings remind us that "forever" is, usually, just a series of short moments to recall later.
If you missed the opening reception, Still Summer is on view at our Los Angeles location through December 2nd. To learn more about the exhibition and our upcoming exhibition schedule, please email LA@hashimotocontemporary.com
