About This Collection:Homecoming, Bri Custer's new series, marks her return to the seacoast after five years in Concord, New Hampshire. These paintings hold the landscapes that have long shaped her work: Wagon Hill Farm in Durham, Parker River, Plum Island, and the nameless little views caught from the side of the road. Custer works both en plein air and from memory, treating the gap between looking and mark-making as an opening rather than a limitation — a wildly bold pink, a slant of light exaggerated to the point of distortion.Her paintings have been featured by Hyperallergic and Create! Magazine, and shown at galleries in Providence, RI, Westport, CT and online through PxP Contemporary. The paintings in this series were made in the final stretch of her time in Concord, just before she relocated to Dover, New Hampshire, where she now lives and works full time.In Bri's own words: "I find that places can carry a charge—an emotional history—especially when I can return to them over time.
