Abattoir is pleased to present Landscapes and Books, a solo exhibition of gouaches and oil paintings by Columbus-based painter George Rush at our second location, Abattoir at the Quarter. As a transplanted New Yorker, George Rush approaches his adopted home of Columbus, Ohio, and the broader Midwest with the eye of an ethnographer and documentarian, while also using painting as a vehicle for personal and subjective expression. His work operates across multiple registers: as a kind of coded memoir, as a record of time and place, and as a reflection on the social structures that shape how we work and live.
