Megan Mulrooney Gallery is pleased to present Woman Having a Hard Time, the debut solo exhibition of Omaha-based painter Falon Stutzman. Across ten new paintings, Stutzman develops a language of flattened perspective, bruised color, and big-eyed emotional states, congealing around a cartoonish archetype of personhood that’s both absurd and uncomfortably familiar. Whether curled up with a dog, waiting tables, or playing pool, her protagonists seem bottlenecked by an internal pressure that manifests in gestures at once generic and particular, stoic and grotesque.
