Shawn Huckins’ Slow Burn presents landscape paintings where decorative curtains — floral drapery, toile de jouy, delicate lace — veil catastrophic explosions and distant wildfires. By staging these disasters as domestic theater, the New Hampshire painter forces the viewer’s comfortable distance into sharp relief: the fires and bombs that define the outside world are close, and the privilege of not being touched by them is precarious. The exhibition opens July 11 at K Contemporary in Denver, running through August 22.
