Curated by Jason Stopa

New Skin features work by artists Michael Berryhill, Clare Grill, Shirley Kaneda, Juan Logan, and Jason Stopa. The artists’ styles are distinct yet united by the use of quasi-representational elements. The works convey an interest in a discreet sense of touch, using decorative and architectural space that flirts with representation and evokes a liminal space of legibility. All grapple with the possibilities of referential imagery, from Michael Berryhill’s evocative pastel surfaces to Clare Grill’s nuanced and materially lush compositions made with a thinly applied touch, and Juan Logan’s “Elegy” series employing a visual language to investigate surface and a distillation of space. Each artist retains a sense of the painterly: Jason Stopa’s multi-layered graphic color work evokes basic architectural forms and multiple planes while Shirley Kaneda’s bright and graphic paintings depict large, curvilinear and geometric forms, works that lie between emphasizing the painter’s hand and the untouched nature of a screen print.
