Jesse McCloskey "Studio Alchemy"
Christopher Henry Gallery
This event has ended.
Continuing the thematic explorations of his prior work, McCloskey’s new paintings distill an evolving vision of the artist as existential medium. In a series of images focused on the consecrated space of the artist’s studio, McCloskey illustrates a world in which the trial of the spirit takes center stage as his subjects--painters and their paintings--grapple with the process of transmuting the dross of life into the refinement of art. Exuberant, allusive, and anxious, these paintings evidence an abiding faith in the redemptive powers of creation, even as they acknowledge the violence inherent in the act.
