Ryan Geiger, Starling
An illuminating and refreshing group exhibition at
Rudolph Projects ArtScan Gallery touches on
ideas of the mundane world from which we are always inclined
to drift away. Miguel Avila, Ryan Geiger, Gabriela
Trzebinski and Lillian Warren are
painters utilizing conventional materials and each artist uses
images of more or less dimly remembered people, places, things
and creatures.
Lillian Warren, G203 Aug25 5:11 pm
The artists use personal experience, mundane images
and objects. Most images are deeply familiar to their audience
and become almost iconographic in a gallery setting. The
images are mundane, but they create an intensely personal and
intimate portrait of the artist. The work seems to offer a
provocative commentary on influences of our modern life.
Miguel Avila, Santo Superestrella
After viewing the exhibition and returning home, one
may find that they have the uncanny experience of seeing each
artists work everywhere they look. The exhibition brims with
imagery that is typically overlooked while passing through any
city or town: cars, trucks and trailers; commercial signs,
street signs and handmade signs; street intersections and
traffic barriers; flea markets and boarded up stores;
construction and demolition sites; rubble and trash; bicycles,
fire hydrants, drain spouts and manhole covers.
Gabriela Trzebinski, 22 of 2000 The Lost Boys of
Sudan
Art is a sharing of personal experience, however profound
or mundane. Personal experience is all we have, individually
and collectively.
