| July 20 - August 14, 2010 Recent Work Paintings by Joren Dykstra Joren Dykstra's current work centers around two series of paintings: "Grid" paintings, in which the picture plane is divided into multiple squares, and "Synthetic Collage" paintings, which are random in their overall composition. Dykstra's work has been influenced by multiple artists, including Frank Stella, Pablo Picasso, Matthew Ritchie, Fernand Leger, and Lee Krasner. It also represents an evolution of many techniques with which he has experimented in the past, beginning with collages comprised of cutting from various paintings on paper that are then adhered to canvas. The difference in this current series is not only in the lack of texture and the immediacy of the results, but also the amplification of the element of chance. There is an amazing feeling of discovery when the tape is removed, revealing the painting for the first time in its new state. Public Reception: Saturday, July 24th, 5-8pm Free and open to the public. |

| September 7 - October 2, 2010 Peripheral Visions Paintings by Steve Boksenbaum Recognizable imagery is merely a template for play with the media Boksenbaum uses. He gathers images photographically, which removes them one step from reality and into the timeless two dimensional realm. From there, Boksenbaum reconstructs them as broad geometric areas and work in layers of paint, each layer refining the areas and complementing the colors. The effect is an atmosphere of paint, another step away from the original reality and into a redefined universe. In this manner, Boksenbaum can stop the process at any completed layer of paint and accept the amount of detail at that point. Some paintings are vague and remote while other approach verisimilitude. Boksenbaum's most recent paintings are worked from a tiny half megapixel digital camera. The lack of photographic detail forces him to improvise, protecting from an obsession with detail. The images are now more obscure, but maintain the essence of the visual experience of realism. Visually they are more honestly reflective of Boksenbaum's astigmatism. Public Reception: Saturday, September 11th, 5-8pm Free and open to the public. |
