Future Exhibitions

I have several ideas for future art exhibitions, and to keep me motivated as well as to generate interest, I am posting them here. If you manage a venue that would be a good fit for one of these projects, please feel free to contact me. 

Chesco Hernandez and I present a private two-person pop-up show of abstract artworks titled Speed and Depth. Chesco’s oeuvre is inspired by the kinetic art movements of Latin America. The colorful stripes in his hard-edge paintings evoke a sense of lateral movement across the plane of the canvas, while my art is more about pictorial space in which optical illusions lead the eye into the image. Both of our approaches, however, are ways to address the concept of change. Is change destined to be a kind of progress towards perfection, or is it just a cyclical ebb and flow with random outcomes? Speed and Depth asks the viewer to meditate on the intellectual and practical consequences of these possibilities.

Maps of the Random presents paintings that chart the geography of chaos and explore the possibility of seeing a kind of intelligence in the mystery of randomness. These works were created using algorithms and formulas that leave certain decisions up to chance, thereby setting up a strange interplay between automation and innovation.

In the exhibition, Grid Life, I team up with Arlene Navo and Root Bradford to present works that explore the ambiguous meanings behind the concept of the grid. As metaphors for architecture, technology, and even artistic creativity, grids can appear both as living and constricting, evolving and isolating. Each of our unique approaches to the grid, which range from photography and sculpture to drawing and painting, unite to form a multidimensional framework of shared experience and mutual cooperation.

The exhibition, Language of Angles, focuses on the recurring symbols in my work of hard-edge geometric abstraction. Diamonds, spirals, and labyrinths populate my paintings, making up a vocabulary of points and lines, as well as of viewpoints and lines of thought. These ancient signs inform the compositions, complicating their reading, and opening up new possibilities of meaning.
