This event has ended.

Jim Kempner Fine Art presents Tables and Chairs, an exhibition of new mixed media still-life works on paper by Jerry Mischak. This will be the artist’s third solo exhibition at the gallery.

In this new series, Tables and Chairs, Mischak presents a modern spin on the traditional still-life motif. Images are composed of oil stick, irregular shapes of colored duct-tape and individual strokes of paint. These elements are collaged in a mosaic fashion to evoke an energized atmosphere. Sizes range from an intimate 12 by 16 inch single couch portrait, to an enveloping 8 by 6 foot table setting.

Known for his colorful duct-taped–wrapped sculptures and collages, Tables and Chairs incorporates similar materials, but focuses on the table as a site prepared for everyday ritual. Spawned from a 2010 exhibition at Industry Gallery in Washington, DC titled Din Din, Mischak built a 36-foot table, covered in a collection of dinnerware encased completely in duct tape. The objects amassed included vases, plates, utensils, bottles, and cell-phones.

Jerry Mischak lives and works in Providence, Rhode Island.
