From The Outside In
by Bre Andy
NADA Miami
December 3-7
Cierra Britton Gallery is thrilled to announce our participation in New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) Miami in their 22nd edition at Ice Palace Studios with a solo presentation of Bre Andy’s latest series, From The Outside In from December 3rd through the 7th.
From the Outside In is a series of six oil paintings by Bre Andy that delicately intersect between private ritual and intimate observation. Moving from a commanding life-size portrait to more intimately scaled works, the series frames women's bodies in carefully composed views, portraying a progressive narrative of undressing. The paintings sit at the threshold between solitude and connection, presenting personal and suggestively shared moments. Set entirely within the bedroom, they shift from direct portraits to focused close-ups where viewers are positioned as unseen participants, observing the details unfurling before them. Only when faces appear is their presence directly acknowledged. The subject’s direct gaze paired with the tight compositional focus on backs turned to the viewer creates a sense of both invitation and boundary.
Through this work, Andy seeks to elevate and romanticize the everyday moments of feminine experience – routine acts that typically exist behind closed doors. Andy also uses these moments to question vulnerability, consent, and agency when another is invited into this experience. True to its title, the series draws outside observers into the role of silent witness.
