 e with Black Clothing attire. TWIST: Paintings by Lisa Rockford Surveying 
 the portrayals of gender and romance\, produced with contemporary iconic a
 nd cartoon imagery\, Lisa Bulten Rockford presents two distinct series of 
 paintings in her solo exhibition Twist. Spanning all three floors of the 1
 310 Gallery\, Lisa's playful manipulation of popular imagery comprises bot
 h a series of large and vibrant oil paintings\, and more than 30 intimate 
 acrylic paintings on paper. The monumental scale and rich coloration of Li
 sa's canvases gives a distinct power to her hybridized figures and landsca
 pes (that are derived\, and pieced\, from various sets of children's fashi
 on plate toy sets)\, while the cool\, graphic\, and poster-sized format of
  her &ldquo\;Barbie Magic Reveal Series&rdquo\; directly references the fu
 n pads from which they have been meticulously enlarged\, distorted and enh
 anced. Three colorful videos have also been made specifically for the exhi
 bit. The playful nature of Lisa Bulten Rockford's work is immediately enga
 ging. Yet\, careful consideration of the imagery reveals a subversive deco
 nstruction\, and reconstruction\, of the seemingly familiar content. This 
 interface between the viewer and the image is designed to mimic and questi
 on our interaction with\, and understanding of\, popular imagery\; and to 
 expose the agendum it often incorporates. Twist's thematic focus on romanc
 e and relationships is the perfect prelude to the Valentine season. Lisa's
  show will culminate with a closing reception\, and Anti-Valentine's day p
 arty\, featuring a live performance by the visual/musical duo Pocket of Lo
 llipops. Lisa Rockford is an adjunct instructor at Broward College\, and r
 eceived her MFA from the top-ranked painting program at the School of the
