Jack and Dolly Geary announces a two-person exhibition featuring the work of Sally Gil and Rebekah Goldstein. Using their respective choice of materials, process, and imagery, Gil and Goldstein embrace the open-ended interpretation of their surroundings, inviting the viewer to join in the search for surprise meaning and unpredictable relationships. In distinctly different styles, there is an optical quality to both artists’ work that forces the viewer’s eye to continually adjust its focus, a visual reinforcement of the multisided questions that serve as the basis of their expression.

Sally Gil’s two-dimensional work is built up from layers of collaged materials creating a ground of patterned imagery that lends physical depth to the piece. Order and randomness are two factors that, from Gil’s point of view, play an important part in the definition of beauty. “ I am interested in the relationship between logic and intuition,” the artist has said. “I believe they are interdependent. Since I tend to work intuitively I’ve learned [that]
intuition [is] generated by information. Intuition is actually based on logic and careful
observation to all apparent clues.”

Rebekah Goldstein’s works have a similar sense of an undefined, but actively thinking space. The artist has developed a complex process of fabricating three-dimensional tableaux (which resemble abstracted still lifes) in her studio, fragments of which are then translated to her two-dimensional work. “Throughout a body of work, I build up my own pictorial language with a specific set of symbols, shapes, forms, and colors. These fragments become reoccurring characters that appear throughout multiple works. In a single painting I reassemble, fracture, and choreograph these visual elements, working improvisationally until I arrive at an image held together by its own internal logic.”
