Kim Kimbro: To My Widow

A very small measure of warmth

I am looking forward to what looks like a powerful show at Lawrence Asher Gallery this Saturday November 22.  Kim Kimbro's haunting images, including these three dog oil paintings, were inspired by archival photographs of the doomed 1912 exploration of the South Pole by British explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott.

The show's title, To My Widow, is taken from the letter Scott wrote to his wife and was found on his body 11 miles from the warm supply hut stocked food.  The paintings' titles are derived from passages from the letter as well.
