Wyatt Nash and Jeff Thompson"Sketches and Loops: New drawings"
Local Project
This event has ended.
Having met in grad school, Wyatt Nash and Jeff Thompson went on to help found the Texas Firehouse, a gallery space in Long Island City, New York. While most of their work is quite dissimilar, they both use processes of drawing and diagramming to build up layers of images that result in unexpected connections between objects and ideas.
Wyatt Nash’s drawings were created during a three-month stay in Berlin. They derive from the new surroundings he found himself in and from his imagination. Precariously situated between abstraction and realism, the forms constantly switch between these two realms while trying to find a common ground in between.
Jeff Thompson’s drawings are part of an ongoing series called “Wikipedia Loops” which use a simple set of rules to find linguistic and poetic pathways through the structure of Wikipedia. The result are large-format inkjet prints that document the possible connections between such disparate terms as Karl Marx and Type 2 Diabetes.
