“Summer Group Show”
Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery
This event has ended.
Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery presents a summer group exhibition featuring highlights from the gallery’s collection. Incorporating photography, sculpture and new media, the show celebrates the diversity of our artists, while examining the interplay between these different mediums.
Yorgo Alexopolous is best known for combining a variety of media into immersive fine art installations and artworks. He makes works of art by fusing his own paintings, drawings, photographs, and films with digital animation and sound. He often creates his artworks by combining and synchronizing multiple monitors or projections.
Edward Burtynsky is renowned for his large-format color photographs that document humanity’s impact upon the earth, revealing scenes of powerful beauty and surreal devastation. He has work in the collections of over fifty major museums around the world, and has received many honors, including the TED Prize.
Ola Kolehmainen questions our built environment by photographing architecture in its purest forms, rendering it in abstract fields of pattern, light, and space. He does not manipulate the images, although their mesmerizing colors and repetitions often evoke a digital aesthetic.
Jose Parla’s paintings are deeply personal, acting as records of his life and travels. He builds an intimate narrative through the collective histories of urban environments and the use of linguistic mark-making and the layering of materials. His choreographic process and the fragmented nature of his compositions are impressions of a global community evolving through time.
Alan Rath is known for creating robotic hybrids which fuse the animate with the inanimate. His machines blink, wink, and “watch” us, creating unexpected scenarios that question human beings’ autonomy and privacy.
