The exhibition's title reflects the artist's opposing approaches to painting while alluding to the related themes found in each of their work. Both Dove and Thibeault have exhibited in galleries and museums across the globe in addition to being reviewed in publications such as Art in America, the Los Angeles Times, and Artillery Magazine.
