Statement
In the colorful, experiential art of C. Finley, incandescent paintings designate sites for community, exhibitions are spaces to generate new work, art fairs are radically charged, and representational power is decentralized. Her art and public works produce the conditions needed to change our world, encouraging other artists to create alongside her in spaces defined by vibratory beauty where all are welcome to glimpse the utopia that is already present, that we need only lean into.
