Geometry & Gesture -opens Thursday
Geometry & Gesture is a group show of emerging artists curated by Kelsey Harrington and Elga Wimmer. The exhibition brings together work with a sense of underlying geometry in a wide range of subject matter. The artists share common processes of experimentation and free play, which result in inventive representations of the world. The works consist of contradictory elements - geometric order and chaos, figuration and abstraction, the garish and the restrained, while remaining focused on qualities of formal material integrity. The show creates an open framework for painting, drawing, and video to allow the potential for new unexpected connections and perspectives.
“In the unity of the chaos and the diagram is the discovery of rhythm as matter and material.” -Gilles Deleuze
Artists include -Jaqueline Cedar, Laura Greengold, Kelsey Harrington, John Monteith, Sobin Park, Devin Powers, Peggy Tan, Eduardo Terranova, Victoria Usle, and Brian Zegeer.
Clockwise from entrance:
Devin Powers’ drawings are dense networks of symmetric lines that create intricate geometric systems. They appear to have infinite depth and detail. His imagery is both timeless and innovative, and surprisingly is produced without the use computers.
Brian Zegeer’s digital video deals with experimental aspects of imagery, space, and consciousness. Kral Majales is an analogue to the magical practice of "scrying" (or mirror-gazing), as well as the cut-up techniques practiced by William Burroughs and Brion Gysin. It was inspired by an extended stay in the derelict former apartment of Allen Ginsberg.
Laura Greengold’s Halfsleep series, paintings of infant sleep, offers exactly the type of renewal and authentic substance that the contemporary painted image needs. These subtle oil paintings play with gesture, as representation of layered space and time, giving the viewer an intimate experience of new life.
Jaqueline Cedar’s richly colorful painting Planetarium combines imagination and memory into inventive figural scenarios with a strong sense of form, space, and narrative.
John Monteith’s multi-dimensional watercolor pencil line drawing on drafting film -Criterion blurs the boundary between the figure and geometric space through fragmentation and environmental shifts.
Kelsey Harrington presents a continued exploration of light, pattern, color fields, and space, in the form of multi-media.
Peggy Tan’s Loose Association charcoal drawings depict everyday objects that are a hybrid of representation and abstraction through slight shifts in perspective views.
Victoria Usle’s painting Venasaltar is painted in association with her experience of rock climbing in Cantabria, Spain. It consists of ample gestures that are fluid and slip over a surface that is divided by fields of organic geometries and dark rotund blocks -fields of primeval character. Through her brushstrokes there is reference to natural patterns and activity, inviting us to join, saying: “ven a saltar conmigo”, "come jump with me".
Eduardo Terranova’s Light Boxes from his City Veil Series resulted from studies of architectural events and environments such as the NYC urban grid.
Sobin Park creates a strong calligraphic presence through dense patterning that suggests mythic figures and natural forces, using simple means of black pencil on paper.
