Juliann Cydylo’s increasingly ambitious cut paper collages are featured in her fourth solo exhibition at the gallery. These recent works introduce color and narrative elements, giving new layers of meaning to the complex formal structures of her surrealistic abstractions. In Pink Swim (2005) flesh toned figures swing and sway across a stage, as if performing a multi-dimensional water ballet. In three glass paintings, Cleft Being (2004), Rolling Beluga (2004), and Distention (2004) the artist imagines a trio of playful grotesques who bulge and squirm towards the outer limits of their framed quarters. In Slink and Shimmies (2004) tiny hyperventilating torsos undulate to a throbbing private beat. Cydylo offers us a view into a magical universe, inhabited by quirky, comical creatures, pulsing with the rhythm of life Two large-scale collages by Juliann Cydylo are included in the upcoming exhibition: “Over & Over: A Passion for Process” to be held at the Addison Gallery of American Art, April 30 - July 31.
