“In Canon” at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art

In Canon

This exhibition assembles paintings, drawings, sculpture, and installation by artists who mine artistic precedents for source material, style, or technique. A common practice throughout the history of art, these methods of visual quotation allow viewers a point of recognition and artists a means of critique. Carrie Ann Baade’s autobiographical parables combine fragments of Renaissance and Baroque religious paintings, resulting in surreal landscapes inhabited by exotic flora, fauna, and figures. Addressing 21st century consumerism and production, Laurie Hogin’s monkey portraits infuse 17th-century Dutch still life with pointed social commentary. Julie Heffernan’s large-scale self-portrait landscape paintings quote a variety of 17th and 18th century old masters—Northern Renaissance and Spanish Baroque, among others—with an underlying consciousness of notions of femininity. In her whiteware vases and lush paintings, Jane Irish combines references to conceptual artists working in the mid-20th century—such as Marcel Broodthaers and Joseph Beuys—with elements of French Rococo painting, architecture, and porcelain production. Works by artists such as Annette Davidek, Sara Sosnowy, and Susan Chrysler White draw influence from plant illustration and William Morris wallpaper designs, while recalling the female-dominated Pattern and Decoration movement of the 1970s. René Treviño layers Victorian wallpaper designs with figures and animals associated with masculinity as an exploration of the artist’s self-identity (as a gay Latino male). Whether exploring the human condition, notions of beauty, or personality in popular culture, the artists included work both within and outside of the art historical “canon.”

UPCOMING
Group Show: Suggestivism, Grand Central Art Center, LA
September 4 – October 17, 2011

http://www.nathanspoor.com/NS_GCAC_Suggestivism.html

http://www.grandcentralartcenter.com/

Cal State University’s cutting-edge museum arm, Grand Central Art Center, and Nathan Spoor present a comprehensive survey exhibition that explores and documents a select section of modern contemporary artists, which make up the vibrant core of creativity existing in the current art world.

Conceptually speaking, the term “Suggestivism” refers to the ability of an individual to pursue their purpose with an amplified understanding and sensitivity. The artists involved represent precisely this – a wave of purpose, working within the more fluid aspects of narrative or figurative arenas. Through the mere power of suggestion, the magic is transferred from one to another, engaging the world at large from the most vivid and evocative of visual realms.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a handsome double-book box set that includes the Suggestivism exhibition, as well as a fascinating time capsule of interviews with each artist compiled by writing duo Greg Escalante and Nathan Spoor.

Annual Small Works Show at Rosenfeld Gallery
Opening Sunday December 6th, 2009 http://www.therosenfeldgallery.com/

Solo Show: Tales of Passion and Woe
Opening Sunday March 7th
Rosenfeld Gallery http://www.therosenfeldgallery.com/
This series of paintings will be influenced by the traditions of book illustration from the medieval Book of Hours, illuminated Persian manuscripts, and Indian painting. Often painting has suffered the pejorative of being called illustration (or to say that it is subservient to text) and I desire to create a body of work that elevates rich history of illustration as being amongst the greatest of paintings…rich with subject and narrative.
