NYAB Event - Jeffrey Tranchell Exhibition

Jeffrey Tranchell Exhibition

John Connelly Presents

This event has ended.

For Jeffrey Tranchell’s second solo exhibition at the gallery, he will present a range of works that take form from his use of everyday materials in an effort to explore a wealth of meaning and experience through a poverty of means. He playfully yet very strategically exploits an accessible methodology with a potential more powerful than recognized at first glance. In his paintings as well as drawings and collages, he makes marks with such varied items as used postal stamps, produce stickers, price tags, and coins. As a result these works are often adorned with records of dates, places, and objects and tend to have an innate quality of familiarity.

Also on view is a series of Polaroids from a performance titled "Still-Life Party", a collaborative effort amongst friends and acquaintances to assemble a still-life consisting of objects brought to the site, constructed and readjusted for the sake of producing documentation. Two video works, from a series which record the artists home while he is away, run the length of their respective tapes, the duration determined by the medium. These videos have received no additional involvement from the artist other then the original placement of the camera. Tranchell's poetic treatment of material encourages many possible avenues of experiencing his work and the world around us yet he refuses to let the viewer go away content with an easy singular answer or conclusion. The possibilities are numerous and the work remains constantly shifting while always holding our attention, never letting go.
