Mason Saltarelli and Chuck Manion “Raw Intuition”
Turn Gallery
This event has ended.
Turn Gallery presents RAW INTUITION, a two person exhibition with artists Mason Saltarrelli and Chuck Manion. Though radically different, Saltarrelli and Manion share a common thread – raw intuition.
Saltarrelli combines drawing and painting using oil, gouache, graphite and spray. His instinctive undercurrents, seemingly childlike, are absolute sophistication. Examining his personal sense and a variety of folktales and objects, Saltarrelli’s abstract narratives are rendered through a meditative inspiration. Hand and weather patinated paper serves as Saltarrelli’s canvas upon which hypnotic dots, lyrical lines and suggestive smudges create a subtle storytelling. His combination of form and color result in an abstract mapping of ghostlike figures and routes. Mason Saltarrelli’s strength is not only in what he paints, but in the silent restraint of his negative space.
Chuck Manion’s art lies between painting and sculpture. Manion builds his paintings inherently — from the inside out. He frames his pieces from found wood draped in burlap or stretched mosquito netting. He builds his surface with layered oils or gold leaf, leaving raw netting exposed in various shapes which, under lights, give an illusion of a wall painting underneath – a hint of wandering quiet soul. Manion’s work bridges gesture and structure with a rugged untapped elegance.
