He is in pursuit of the truth, but along the way he encounters tremendously steep obstacles to achieving it. This is an apt metaphor for the way life moves along for the vast majority of us.

The exhibition is a collaboration between Garvey Simon Gallery and McKenzie Fine Art and features Brenneman\u2019s work alongside the work of Gary Petersen.
