ARTIST BIOGRAPHY |
Lucky DeBellevue
(born 1975, Lafayette, LA) has developed a unique transformation of a quotidian material, having adopted the chenille stem as a basic unit for creating soft, brightly colored, sculptures and as a tool for stamping and applying paint to canvas. The quirky, web-like sculptures activate the architecture of the gallery space, resembling organic, cellular structures anchored in the corners of the room, while sculptural attachments on his paintings appear to grow out of the surface of the canvas. DeBellevue engages sculpture and painting in a generative process of creation, using humble materials to develop a sophisticated practice and body of work.
Lucky DeBellevue has exhibited extensively throughout the US and Europe and was the subject of a solo exhibition at The Whitney Museum of American Art, in New York. He was the recipient of the prestigious Rome Prize at the American Academy in Rome, Italy, and recently completed a residency in Giverny, France.
Ben Degen
(born 1976, Brooklyn, NY)’s work resembles American modern artists Stuart David and Alfred Jensen. His tightly rendered compositions are a dense and highly organized world of bodies, objects, text, and marks competing to occupy the compressed pictorial space of the canvas. One has the sense that even the air within the painted space exists as paint, and everything sharing that space is held in tension by a meticulous formal configuration of shapes and patterns. Degen clearly reveres and understands the wide range of historical precedents for his work, including Cubism, Folk Art, and artists like Picasso and Balthus. He builds on these traditions with a persistent vision that is compelling and unique.
Ben Degen has exhibited throughout the US and Europe. His work gained widespread attention during its inclusion in PS1/ MoMA’s Greater New York Exhibition in 2005. His work is in numerous private and public collections including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, NY.
Jacob Feige
(born 1979, Albany, NY)’s oil paintings present pastoral natural landscapes littered with references to counter-culture traditions. Growing up in the country side, he found interest in nature and landscape. These themes are apparent in his work, which states that one should never forget that nature and civilization coexists together. The sky and horizon appear to explode with psychedelic and hallucinatory patterns of geometric shapes, bursts of color, glossy glazes, and drips of paint that suggest a ruptured, shifting landscape in a state of transition between abstraction and representation. He creates high-tech abstraction and synthesizes many sources including 19th Century American landscape painting, psychedelic light shows and record album covers, and the utopian utopian architectonic geometry of Buckminster Fuller, fusing nature and culture into a kaleidoscopic vision that transforms a traditional medium and a conventional genre into a sublime space. .Jacob Feige has exhibited his work throughout the US and Europe. His work was recently exhibited at the Orlando Museum of Art, Orlando, Florida and at the Daimler Chrysler Emerging Artist Award Exhibition in Berlin, Germany.
John Finneran
(born 1979, New York City, NY) has developed a poetic, humorous, and enigmatic visual mythology that is both highly personal and ubiquitous. He takes images we know already such as lips, hands, feet, noses, eyes, and these repeated images appear to emerge out of a hazy abyss of brushy, abstract shapes. The works call to mind artists like Philip Guston and Jasper Johns, who also explore the body and its relationship to abstraction. Using reflective aluminum grounds and a limited color palette that consists primarily of black, grey, and white punctuated with red, green, and pink, the paintings offer the viewer a contemplative dream-like space.
John Finneran’s work has been included in numerous exhibitions in the US and will be included in a forthcoming exhibition of works from the Saatchi Collection in London, England.
Sam Gordon
(born 1973, 1973, Brooklyn, NY)’s series of abstract paintings are layered with optical patterns, grids, and interlocking positive and negative shapes that frame perceptual experience as a system of visual codes. Each work reminds the viewer that he or she is looking at a painting with its own internal formal logic. Often, the paintings display traces of the process of their creation, and in some cases the ground is a mirror that reflects the act of looking back onto the viewer. Gordon ) uses abstraction and design elements in his work and achieves a wide variety of marks and surfaces with surprising economy, using spray paint, ballpoint pen, enamel, and sweepings (bits of detritus and scraps swept from his studio floor and glued to the surface of the panting). The paintings are a reflexive space, where the artist’s act of creation and the viewer’s act of looking hold equal weight in determining the work. Sam Gordon has exhibited throughout the US and Europe. His work is in numerous private and public collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, NY.
乐奇•德贝尔维尤(Lucky DeBellevue, 1975年出生于路易斯安纳州拉法叶)扩展了日常材料的用途,使用毛绒条创作装置作品, 有时用它将颜料印在或直接贴到你的作品中。他的作品让人想起有机的细胞结构和蜘蛛网。虽然德贝尔维尤装置作品展示于展厅的一个角落, 但是作品中增生扩散的因素给展厅和整个建筑带来了鲜活的气氛。他不仅以增生的方式打破了雕塑与绘画间的界线, 而且用最朴素的材料展示了充满魅力的作品。德贝尔维尤在欧美国家举办了多次展览, 包括纽约惠特尼美术馆个展。他曾经获得罗马美国协会授予的罗马奖, 最近还参加了于法国纪薇尼进行的驻留项目。
在本•德根(Ben Degen,1976年出生于纽约州布鲁克林)的作品中,人体, 物件, 文本以及绘画痕迹占据了画布上被压缩的绘画空间, 构建出了一个条理性极强的世界。他的作品让人感觉到, 甚至连画上的空气都是以绘画的形式存在, 所有的元素都是由一丝不苟的形状和模型构成。Degen敬重并熟知艺术史,括立体主义, 民间艺术, 以及一些赫赫有名的艺术家例如毕加索, 巴尔蒂斯。他在这些传统上建造了另一个引人注目且独一无二的视觉空间。本•德根已在美国和欧洲举办了数个展览。他的作品于2005年在纽约Ps1当代艺术中心的《伟大的纽约 Greater New York》展上获得极大关注。他的作品被数不清的私人及公共收藏家珍藏, 包括纽约现代艺术博物馆。
杰伊克•费吉(Jacob Feige, 1979年出生于纽约州奥尔巴尼)的油画向我们展示了反正统文化的田园风光。天空和地平线充斥着迷幻的几何图形, 爆炸性的色彩, 有光泽的釉彩, 水珠般垂落下的油画颜料, 构成了一个在抽象和表象中游移的破裂的, 移动的景观, 仿佛随时会爆裂。在作品中他综合了许多资源, 包括美国19世纪山水画, 迷幻灯展, 唱片封面, 巴克明斯特•富勒的乌托邦建筑几何学, 他将自然和文化融合在一起, 创造出了一个万花筒般的奇观, 完美地实现了传统媒介和传统基因的转换, 并将其推上了顶峰。杰伊克•费吉已在美国和欧洲举办了多个展览。近期他的作品在佛罗里达奥兰多艺术博物馆, 德国柏林戴姆勒•克莱斯勒新兴艺术家颁奖展上展出。
约翰•芬纳兰(John Finneran, 1979年出生于纽约州纽约市)创造出了一个诗意, 幽默, 神秘的视觉神话, 他的作品极度关注个人和普遍存在。他非常频繁地在一幅画面中重复一些画面, 多重的嘴唇, 手, 脚, 鼻子, 以及眼睛, 仿佛从灌木丛生的无底洞中挣脱出, 构成极端抽象的画面。他的作品让大家关注贾斯珀•约翰斯和菲利普•加斯顿, 这两位艺术家发现了人体和抽象之间的联系。约翰•芬纳兰的作品以黑, 灰, 白色为主色调, 加入红, 绿, 粉红色, 再配以能反光的铝, 以将观者带入了一个引人深思的, 梦幻般的空间。约翰•芬纳兰在美国举办过数次展览, 并将在伦敦萨奇画廊收藏展上展出。
萨姆•戈登(Sam Gordon, 1973年出生于纽约州布鲁克林)的抽象绘画系列由视觉模型, 网格,环环相扣的正反面图形以双倍, 对称, 重复的方式层层叠加在一起, 构成了一个可感知的视觉密码系统。他的每件作品都在提醒观者, 他们正在看的是一幅有着内在严谨逻辑的绘画。通常这些绘画表面上都会留下创作过程中产生的痕迹, 在有些作品中, 艺术家使用镜子来反射观众的行为。戈登使用一些廉价的材料例如喷漆, 圆珠笔, 指甲油, 甚至是从工作室地板上扫出来的尘渣以及小碎片, 以这种非常经济的方式完成一系列的创作。这些作品创造了一个反射的空间, 在这里艺术家的创作和观众到处观望的行为共同构成了作品的价值。萨姆•戈登在美国和欧洲举办过许多展览, 作品被数不清的私人及公共收藏家珍藏, 包括纽约现代艺术博物馆。
