Small Quest: Hannah Secord Wade Installation Video

Rivalry Projects is delighted to present our first solo exhibition of paintings by Maine-based artist Hannah Secord Wade. This exhibition is on view March 3 - April 21, 2023.

This exhibition presents eight new paintings by the artist from her Small Quest series. In these latest large-scale paintings, Wade takes the viewer on a journey through vignettes of fauna, bonfires, falling fruit, and characters she describes as “failed guardians”. Her palette for these works remains planted in the verdant green for which earlier paintings are known, while also extrapolating outward and asking us to dive off a cliff into heady, blue depths filled with eels, monuments, and rising water levels.
