ASPIC AND AMBROSIA SOLO EXHIBITION, TINNEY CONTEMPORARY 2020

This body of work is available exclusively through Tinney Contemporary.

Tinney Contemporary solo exhibition “Aspic and Ambrosia” November 1-December 31, 2020

Artist Statement:

The overarching themes in the body of work represented in Aspic and Ambrosia are our perceptions of nostalgia and how we relate to one another. The title of the exhibition evokes a particular period and way of life that is highly romanticized, and reflects--in my imagination--how some things translate fairly well over time (ambrosia), while other things do not (aspic). Elements in each painting are metaphor for relationships: shapes range from diaphanous to opaque, rough to smooth, slick to matte, precise to organic; edges collide, overlap, barely miss, graze, float or are tenuously connected; the palette is ethereal to earthy, and watery to fiery. The stylistic shift that occurs from painting to painting is intended to symbolize how dramatically a narrative can be changed with small, simple adjustments. As I have worked on this body of paintings, I have imagined each of them as symbolizing different conversations occurring over the course of a dinner party, stylistically representing the personalities, body language, nuances, interests and intentions on display.

Aspic and Ambrosia Small Works Grouping

SOLD

This series of 10” x 8” works on board was made as I worked on the larger pieces that make up Aspic and Ambrosia, with the paint left on the palette at the end of a painting session. I thought about some of my favorite places to visit as I painted, and titled after those locations: Los Osos, Mohegan Bluffs, Block Island, Morro Rock, Morro Bay, Joshua Tree, Pacific Palisades.
