About the show
Long Story Short Paris and Cierra Britton Gallery are proud to present Bre Andy’s debut international solo exhibition, Waiting Room.
A waiting room is a liminal space; a state of transition; a physical and metaphorical point where one pauses before moving to the next. Across eleven new works, Andy’s “Waiting Room” unfolds within this threshold. Considering the domestic spaces we occupy and the cogitations that occupy us, she visualizes interior scenes where women are intimately suspended in thought, both alone and with one another. Closely highlighting body language and gazes transfixed beyond the frame, we see the figures present in the paintings, yet seemingly elsewhere internally—their postures suggesting rumination. With routine objects, such as papers, chairs, and ashtrays, mindfully positioned alongside the body as grounding elements, Andy’s works reflect how and where women take space to sit with themselves, while also asking what may be revealed in their stillness.
Waiting Room captures the moments hung before an inevitable shift.
