︎Painted Hooves 1. 
Many horse owners paint their equine hooves before a big show. There is some debate about what shows require this amount of care (regionals or just nationals) and which polishes are best (clear Ultra Hoof Polish or Twinkle Toes). Still, this act of preparation resonates with the absurdity and anticipation involved in a large group exhibition.

Brendan Shea
approaches painting as a practice of mirroring. A painting can imitate a form through illusion, but it can also imitate a psychological position. Shea’s work communicates feelings of wanting power, to be taken care of, or the desire to live in a different world. Shea refracts and recontextualizes everyday moments to provide a new lens to look at familiar feelings.



Brendan Shea (b. 1995, Abington, MA.) is an artist whose work explores popular sentiment, affect and the mechanisms of painting. Brendan received his BFA in painting from Maine College of Art in 2018. Currently, he is an MFA candidate at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is a recipient of the David Bruton Jr. Endowment Graduate Fellowship. Shea has exhibited work across the U.S., including Ortega Y Gasset Projects (NYC), Visual Arts Center (Austin, TX.), Grant Wahlquist Gallery (Portland, ME.), B.U. Gallery (Boston, MA.), Good Luck Have Fun (Austin, TX.), SaveArtSpace (Los Angeles, CA.), Able Baker Contemporary (Portland, Me.), SOIL Gallery (Seattle, WA.), and SPACE Gallery (Portland ME.).
