...Milk Of The Poppy is filling my head with clouds.

CAPITAL is pleased to present Milk Of The Poppy, a summer exhibition of paintings and drawings by Joshua Abelow, Bill Adams, Matthew Clifford Green, Rainen Knecht, Becky Kolsrud, and Trevor Shimizu; and a sculpture by Sterling Ruby.

These works share a relationship with one another by virtue of being together in this exhibition. What does it mean to make a figurative painting? Or to collect six of them in a small space? Are the paintings looking at me or am I looking at the paintings? Are the paintings looking at the sculpture? Is the sculpture a painting that has jumped off the wall? And what about the sculpture? Can it return their gaze? Does it have eyes?
