DESCRIPTION

Gouache and pastel on paper | 2018
Inspired by a fascination and a lack of understanding with the functionality and inner workings of her own body, Elrod translates the internal into abstract works that reference landscapes and romantic architecture. The idea of going beneath the skin is meant to carry many meanings and ask questions around the ‘universal’ experience of living in a body.

Archival pigment print | 2018
This new collection by the artist David Kitz is a compilation of more than one approach to picture making. A series of found and arranged moments, this mix puts pressure on the idea of effort and authorship. By mixing staged pictures with casual snapshots, David Kitz illustrates the contingency of a photograph’s meaning.

AUTHENTICATION

Kitz creates the illusion of multiple focal planes through disruptive lines, bisected angles and elusive borders, the resulting image captured with his 4x5 camera both a still-life and photomontage.

Kitz's interest in flatness and the idea of the photograph as a veneer has made texture, and the illusion of texture, a major focus of his work.

Pencil on Arches watercolor paper | 2019
While in residency with Tappan, Veraldi drew a series of portraits of her favorite legendary figures spanning a wide range of cultural references. In her phases of research she sifted through photo and video archives of each figure, in attempt to capture a more rounded portrait. “The research helps me to try to capture the soul of the person I am drawing, through simple yet purposeful lines and texture.” This is the first time Veraldi is selling her portraits (an iconic signature of the artist) as original works on paper.

DESCRIPTION
Gouache, watercolor, marker, and inkjet transfer on paper
This new series of works on paper is closely tied to Rives Granade’s larger oil paintings, which are oftentimes iterations of these initial studies. This particular suite of paintings plays with pop imagery both created by the artist and sourced from various media.
“The works seek to integrate disparate imagery into a homogenous composition referencing everything from neo-graphic design to asian television, yet their legacy ultimately lies in relationship to surrealism. The colors are keyed high (almost neon) in order to emphasize the artificial nature of the imagery. It is my intention that these paintings be totally familiar and at the same time completely unrecognizable.”

Tea Vessel 190

DESCRIPTION
Concrete, wood, paint | 2014

The Concretions series came about by thinking about what I could do with the plastic bags and bubble wrap that accumulate in my house and studio, along with excess wet concrete from other pieces. The impetus is an attempt to transform ubiquitous materials into something new, both the bag as a mold and the concrete as material. The plastic creates a smooth, sometimes glossy surface (depending on the plastic) and pillowy folds and dents that seem to tempt viewers to want to experience the pieces tactilely. The application of the 24K gold leaf or gold spray paint further pushes the aesthetic qualities of concrete through the contrast of materials. The series is titled Concretions in reference to the geologic formations, as well as the idea of geologic time, which are common themes in my work

"Each painting I do is an experiment, an investigation into the nature of an image and how it functions. I am interested in what’s behind the image, how the image is constructed, how it is read, etc. My work tends to be photo based, because the photograph still is thought of as a document of reality. Painting the image helps me deconstruct and understand it."
