In From Apocalypse to Renewal, Amy Casey’s intricate acrylic paintings depict houses and buildings suspended in chaos, floating amidst debris or perched precariously on mushrooms. These vivid scenes challenge our perception of scale, much as the relentless flow of information in today’s world can make us feel powerless.

The artist describes her work as a way to process life's overwhelming nature. With homes literally falling apart in her paintings, she confronts the daily strangeness of life and offers hope through moments of renewal amidst decay. Her recent works integrate nature, showing houses amidst fungi and overgrown stumps, symbolizing resilience.

This exhibition, currently on view at Brassworks Gallery in Portland and Zg Gallery in Chicago, invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with unsettling change. The paintings meditate on the human condition in an era of rapid transformation, where we must find our footing and start anew.
