More Than This at BREACH Gallery, a solo exhibition featuring the work of Ces McCully. For her first solo show in the United States, McCully presents a series of paintings that seamlessly move from geometric abstract color fields to graphically minimal self-portraits to sentiments rendered in playful letters that on first glance appear gentler than perhaps their subtext would suggest.

In the past, McCully has explored themes of identity and the evolution of contemporary social paradigms as a result of technology and social media. For “More Than This”, she has centered her work around the theme of femininity. Continuing to discuss questions of identity, she utilizes influences from textile work and religious iconography to create pieces that feel personal and at times nostalgic. Her work both reveals and examines areas of society where women have historically sought solace or ways to exercise their voice or power.
