Tal Placido: Meeting Place
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Tal Placido's large-scale abstract paintings begin with a conversation. Instead of working on blank primed canvas, Placido paints on vintage linens, embracing their stains, snags, and embellishments. A native of the Philippines, Placido is attuned to the family stories and lived experiences that she literally weaves into her work. The images she presents in Meeting Place are a record of the dialogue between experience-laden objects and an artist more concerned about thoughtful questions than concrete answers.
