I’m pleased to announce “Intricate Expanse”, an exhibition I’ve curated for Lesley Heller Workspace.
“Intricate Expanse” features the work of six artists, each of whom creates encompassing compositions without sacrificing a distinct sense of their constituent parts.
Steve Currie, Laura Dodson, Karl Hartman, Tine Lundsfryd, Sangram Majumdar and Maritta Tapanainen don’t miss the proverbial forest for the trees, but embrace both simultaneously–to sometimes tenacious, often ruminative and, at odd moments, comic effect.
The notion of “expanse”, for these artists, includes the physical parameters of pictorial and sculptural space, as well as the sweep of imagery contained within them. “Intricacy” is embodied both through touch and vision, by attention paid to the particularities of surface and process, and the metaphorical allusions that are consequently set into motion.
The resulting pieces unfold and disperse even as they are punctuated by a consistent sense of focus.
The exhibition opens on Sunday, March 15, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. I hope you’re able to stop by.
