PORTLAND, Ore. - eTradeWire -- The Imperfecta Gallery is excited to present A Manageable Paradox. On view June 4-28 2026, this solo show features Portland artist Erin Robinson Grant.

Erin R. Grant is interested in the visceral materiality of the body and the uneasy boundaries that we (humans) maintain with the natural world. Through her practice and by leveraging diverse mediums, she conceptually explores the crossing, the blurring and the elimination of such artificially constructed boundaries.

In this collected body of work, Erin has captured moments of liminality: bodies eviscerated and unfurled to flora and fauna, the fragility of exposed flesh to feral specimens, and the fervent dread of the self's collapse into nothingness.

The title of this exhibit reflects the artist's aim to create a moment of beautiful equilibrium from chaotic disintegration. Through drawings, paintings, and sculpture Erin R. Grant strives to capture a moment of aesthetic stability in the continuous entropy that permeates our corporeal existence. In addition to conjuring beauty from decay, she has also imbued her work with a sensitive humor drawn from revulsion. By balancing temporal levity against inexorable obliteration, the art in this exhibit depicts a manageable paradox.
