California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art

Biennial. These days the word generates conflicting responses of anticipation and dread. Anticipation because any sizable survey of recent contemporary art assembled by a museum curator with an eye (plus an ear to the ground) will include at least some unexpected surprises. Juxtaposed with sure-things -- artists who, for one reason or another, drew unusual recent notice -- the biennial mixture can be lively and enlightening. (Los Angeles Times, January 6, 2011)

Sotheby's Exhibition of 20th-Century British Art

Sotheby’s London announces the opening on January 10th 2011, in partnership with awardwinning gallery The Lightbox, of an exhibition featuring sculptures and sculptors’ drawings from a major collection of 20th Century British Art, The Ingram Collection. Forty specially selected works by prominent artists including pieces by Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Elisabeth Frink, Kenneth Armitage and Eduardo Paolozzi will be on display in Sotheby’s New Bond Street galleries. To accompany the works on show, photographs of the artists taken by Jorge Lewinski over the course of the last forty years will also be exhibited. (Art Daily, January 7, 2011)

Restraint and Relief

My paintings are montages of portraits, figures, miniature landscapes, fragments of objects, and an eclectic array of cherished objects. I tend to think of it as a collection of objects in a “curiosity cabinet” similar to those of the 17th century. Every image I paint is a picture or object that I have collected for certain reasons. I need to relate to an object that I select. This can be determined by color, aesthetic value, its expression as an object, and its relation to the other images. Then by interweaving these objects and their connotations, I create an artificial representation of a previous reality. A reality dictated by the unrelated interaction of the objects and the observer’s view of this reality.
