Street Level: Mark Bradford, William Cordova & Robin Rhode

admin — Sun, 09 May 2010 17:36:53 +0000

An Exhibition of 3 fresh new artists who deal with street culture at the Nasher Museum of Art.
The artists in “Street Level” explore the ways that cultural territories are defined and space is transformed in urban environments. For Bradford, Cordova and Rhode the streets of Los Angeles, Lima, Miami, New York, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Berlin act as sources of inspiration. They share a common interest in found materials and artistic gestures such as sneakers thrown over a telephone wire, stripping cars, spontaneous shrines and piles of discarded objects, that help build a gritty foundation for their art.
Street Level is the first show at the Nasher Museum to be organized by curator of contemporary art Trevor Schoonmaker.

Artist panel discussion on Form & Story

admin — Fri, 07 May 2010 06:19:54 +0000

University Museums hosts a moderated panel discussion between four contemporary artists: Steve DiBenedetto, Angela Dufresne, Hanneline Røgeberg and Erling Sjovold. These artists convey narrative content in their work through a synthesis of representational subject matter and the materiality and application of their medium.

Their work is on view at the Harnett Museum of Art, January 21 to May 15, 2009 in an exhibit, Form & Story: Narration in Recent Painting. The exhibit was organized by University of Richmond Museums and curated by N. Elizabeth Schlatter, Deputy Director and Curator of Exhibitions, University Museums.

Artist bios:

Hanneline Røgeberg (Norwegian, born 1963) re-writes body/self and social/sexual relations and explores and exploits the relationship between the surfaces of her subjects—skin, hair, and fur—and the surfaces of her paintings on canvas or paper.

In the works by Angela Dufresne (American, born 1969), the materiality of the paint is both immediately obvious and yet at times incredibly diaphanous, but the specificity and confidence in the representation combined with the detailed titles suggest an authenticity beyond question.

The paintings of Erling Sjovold (American, born 1961) explore and re-invent the sense of place. In each of his works, he plays with spatial relationships and perspective to construct a scene or window into a world that is immediately recognizable while possessing a heightened sense of reality. Sjovold is a faculty member in the art department at the University of Richmond.

Steve DiBenedetto (American, born 1958) creates intensely complex compositions that mirror the dense narrative constructs of his protagonists, an octopus and a helicopter. Of all four of the artists, DiBenedetto has created the most contrived narratives, yet he also has the most fluid, free-form application of paint, relying on the mediums inherent qualities to provide an additional harrowing layer of violence.

Personal Homage Oil Paintings

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 04:01:41 +0000

The artworks of the artist, Ariel Oren, refer to those of the greatest modern painters: Fernand Leger, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, while incorporating graphic influences and sophisticated two-dimensional and traditional animation.
His artwork may be referred to as post-modernistic homage. With a harmony of color and movement and emphasized contours, Oren takes us viewers back to the modern painting of the first half of the twentieth century.
He recreates and debates, breaks and constructs and presents a creation which combines the use of unique compositions, from his personal point of view. Thus a fascinating artwork is created as a jigsaw puzzle of modernistic influences; a puzzle which brings renewed observation that stimulates comparison and is situated between the modern and the contemporary.
