Xanda McCagg (US)

ICONS IN DIALOGUE

Opening reception: Wednesday December 3

Exhibition dates: November 28 - December 6

Phoenix Athens warmly welcomes the American abstract painter Xanda McCagg.

A seasoned artist based in New York. Xanda has participated in numerous international artist residencies and exhibited globally. Her work is a response to human suffering, addressing themes of causality and relationships. With ICONS IN DIALOGUE McCagg’s work continues to evolve through the combined use of tracing, marking, vibrant colors, positive and negative space.

With her exciting paintings, McCagg captures the manifold ways in which Hellenism and contemporary life in Athenian shape her creative work and the way absence, presence and liberation are all equally palpable possibilities.
