James Hyde "Redi_Mix"
Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts
This event has ended.
Kathleen Cullen presents Redi-Mix, an almost-solo-project of works byJames Hyde. Along with Hyde's paintings, a constantly evolving group show will take place.
Hyde will present his recent paintings-- photographic prints which form the physical ground but also the image-space on which Hyde builds his painterly compositions. Styrofoam, papier-mache, blocks of wood, tape, as well as paint-- matte & glossy; thick & thin-- form Hyde's painting kit. Hyde's emphatically material painting slathers and dissects pictures of unfinished building sites, late night reveries, and fragmented views of nature. Often startling, these paintings show Hyde engaging the world through the technical and emotional framework of abstract painting.
During the show the gallery will be in constant flux-- Hyde's paintings-on-photos will cycle in and out. Every week the gallery and artist will organize a salon of works alongside Hyde's paintings. Sculpture, photography, paintings, drawings, prints and multiples by emerging, established and historical artists will appear every week like guests to a cocktail party.
Photographs by Jan Groover, Lucas Blalock and Curtis Mann; sculpture by Fabienne Lasserre and Paul Lee; paintings by Joe Fyfe and Thomas Lindvig and prints byDieter Roth and Bridget Riley will be on view. With this show we hope to transform the gallery to an intimate salon—a place to make unexpected connections between the familiar and the new.
