Exhibition curated by Cynthia Cruz and Stephanie Moran.
The artists work with paint and images in unexpected ways, using a variety of traditional and experimental materials. Tina Jenkins makes her large, bold paintings on plastic sheeting, breaking down the image into a series of gestural marks that flow freely within rigid structural boundaries and form striped or drapey patterns. She describes her process as a hysterical act. Sally Kindberg uses images of disparate objects, shapes, patterns and subjects, seamlessly combining different styles in smooth slick oil paint, to create startling and often hilarious compositions that flatten image hierarchies. Mark Jackson explores the lone human subject in complex and highly layered oil paintings, conjuring a world that pulses with glowing screen-like colour and fragmented gestures. Broadly inspired by the history of figure painting, Jackson’s personal vision re-situates the human form in a new imaginary aesthetic realm. Stephanie Moran constructs group tableaux images of temporary euphoric kinships, depicting redemptively blissful communions, from orgiastic violence to ecstatic trance-states, in lurid colour scattered with glitter like broken glass and parties. Cynthia Cruz selects disturbing online images that form a digitally collaged underpainting, then layers enamel paints and mediums, material viscosities accentuating the stickiness of an open wound or the fluidity of blood and pus, spatters and drips in a non-judgmental way, unified using principles of design.
These artists all deal with the circulation and subjective truth of images through their substantiation in painty materiality: whether transmogrified, transfigured or mathematically transformed, the circulated image is processually and concretely incarnated as a singularity.
