ISTHMUS PICK
Friday, March 18, Overture Center’s James Watrous Gallery, 5:30-7:30 pm (reception)
The exciting and masterfully wrought works by these two Wisconsin painters are presented here in what is easily the most interesting show in Madison so far this year. In large-scale acrylic and spraypainted canvases, such as the dazzling, pop-color “Cake Flights,” Berenz shares a multiple-perspective vision of symphonic balance and haunting emotional content. Working with a darker palette, McAdams’ naturalist-surrealist and landscape imagery presents exuberant juxtapositions in such works as “Agate,” in ballpoint pen and resin on panel.
Exhibited through May 8.
