In The Grid is Elva Mulchrone’s affective response to her Fulbright award and project in 2024/5 and research at the Graduate Center CUNY. It is curated by Margarita Cappock.

Pieces represent her response to feeling the NYC pulse from an oblique angle and personally experiencing its striking inequalities, controls, vibrations  and social climate.

Abstract work explores the city’s complex relationship with recurrent patterns and alludes to structures and systems, together with indomitable human spirit. Paintings explore medium and colour and feature disconnected and obstructed mapping.  Forms and colours are perhaps trying to break free beyond their prescribed boundary, at once helpless yet defiant, driven to abstraction.
