"Objects In The Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear" Exhibition
Kravets/Wehby Gallery
This event has ended.
The Kravets/Wehby Gallery presents objects in the mirror are closer than they appear, a group exhibition of painting and sculpture curated by Mika Gellman. The show features work by Devon Costello, Cheryl Donegan, Deshawn Dumas, Steve Harding, David Pappaceno, and Emily Weiner.
In Objects In The Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear, the artists present a wide range of abstract painting and sculpture that engage with depth and perspective. David Pappaceno’s painting appropriates female figures of art history, which he then juxtaposes with his own figures and tartans. Edging of the figurative, Steve Harding manipulates his paintings by continually layering and washing away areas of paint on his canvases, calling attention simultaneously to what is present and to what is no longer there. By layering chiffon and industrial material, Deshawn Dumas, creates both a delicate and anti-utilitarian work on canvas. Emily Weiner presents a diptych of a dual image; the first is an investigation of an old masters style portrait, the other is the same image broken down into its parts. Devon Costello presents new sculpture, which uses traditional ceramic making to investigate line and color. Beginning with a gingham pattern that is typical in textiles, Cheryl Donegan, creates a fractured sense of space by forcefully interrupting the regularity of the pattern.
