Pamela Jorden Aperture, 2022 acrylic and oil on linen 24 inches (diameter)   ARTIST BIO Tennessee-born artist Pamela Jorden applies her paint in directed, pushed and dragged flows. She actively and physically manipulates the material of her work. The linen is pulled, stretched, and incised. It wraps around the convex and concave curves of the stretchers, and gives solidity to the more atmospheric qualities of the painted surface. “For me, color is surprising. My response to it can be totally visceral and emotional, and this makes it endlessly exciting,” Jorden comments. “It interests me to figure out how a color works in a painting, how I can undermine and alter its intensity, or how a color relationship can create a vibration and tension that keeps movement happening in the painting.” Jorden often refers to landscape and qualities of light in her work, associating the exposed areas of linen with the color and texture of the sandy soil of Southern California, where she lives. "My paintings are improvisations, exploring qualities of reflection, energy, movement, magnetism, and light."   Submit Inquiry Below hbspt.forms.create({ region: "na1", portalId: "22383903", formId: "391f530e-59f4-4ad0-81cb-e54bea6411d6" }); ...

Alex McQuilkin Surface Nature (for Berthe), 2023 flashe on paper on panel 30 x 23 inches   ARTIST BIO Alex McQuilkin combines psychoanalysis, maudlin sentimentality, dark humor, and deep sincerity in her videos, drawings, objects, and installations, through which she explores the construction of female identity in Western culture. She describes her work as “walking a really fine line, investigating the stereotyping and damning of women not directly through a male view, but as that view has been carefully woven into the social structure and internalized in women.” Best known for her videos, in which she plays the starring role, she mines teenage and Hollywood culture to reveal the destructive effects of this stereotyping. McQuilkin’s work has exhibited internationally since 2000. Her paintings, drawings, videos and sculptures explore themes such as the role of cultural aesthetics in defining female identity and the power structures embedded within artifice. Recent highlights include solo exhibitions in NY and Germany and group exhibitions at MoMA PS1, KW Institute in Berlin, Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, and Centre Pompidou in Paris. McQuilkin’s work has been reviewed in the NY Times, the Village Voice, FlashArt, Art Magazine, and elsewhere. She received her MFA from New York University and is currently a professor of art at New York University.   Submit Inquiry Below hbspt.forms.create({ region: "na1", portalId: "22383903", formId: "391f530e-59f4-4ad0-81cb-e54bea6411d6" }); ...

Thomas Wachholz Magenta 0/100/0/0, c. 1980s solvent inkjet print and alcohol on canvas 75 x 55 1/4 inches (unframed)   ARTIST BIO Thomas Wachholz’s works include fire and light, chemical reactions and stimulations of the senses. They generate a space where trivial activities manifest themselves as engaging gestures, interacting with the viewers while leaving traces behind. The installations question the authorship of these very activities, trigger dilemmas and allow for notions of exhibiting to exist differently. In establishing the idea of a Conceptual Pop, the artist playfully examines the limits and rules of painting. Wachholz succeeds in intertwining theory with a smile, both as a spatial construct and a painterly indispensability. Born in Germany in 1984, Wachholz studied under Katharina Grosse and Marcel Odenbach at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Germany.   Submit Inquiry Below hbspt.forms.create({ region: "na1", portalId: "22383903", formId: "391f530e-59f4-4ad0-81cb-e54bea6411d6" }); ...
