DRISCOLL BABCOCK GALLERIES presents Contained Conflict, a group exhibition featuring works whose hauntingly beautiful exteriors belie the fact that just below the surface there exists discord and dissension. The artists in the exhibition come from diverse backgrounds and work in varied mediums, yet all invoke our instinctual and universal desire for resolution, to overcome pitfalls and seek harmony within the chaotic. Addressing tensions ranging from the global to the personal, these works become acts of rebellion- fighting to extract beauty from the most tumultuous political and psychological situations.
