| The gallery celebrates the arrival of Spring with an exhibition of works
by six young artists whose visual sensibility is inspired by extravagance,
exaggeration, and a feverish delight in obsessive forms and linear dynamics.
Maura Bendett makes enchanting drawings of floral forms that burst with
rococo abandon. Alex Blau’s small scale, soft edged paintings are inspired
by the jazzy colors, patterns and designs of snack food packaging.
Using a combination of natural and synthetic materials, sculptor
Doug Bosch makes constructions that have the sensibility of scientific specimens
and the acuity of minimalist art. Sheila Gallagher will show works from her
series of white on white garden paintings made by using paint applied with
an icing funnel. The building blocks of Frank Jackson’s constructions are
balls of handmade paper, impregnated with color and formed into charmingly
silly grotesqueries. Giles Lyon’s images of abstract skeins of paint laid on
in psychedelic color allude both to the turbulent spontaneity of Abstract
Expressionism and the flotsam and jetsam of comic art. |
