September, 2011

I am pleased to announce that my work will be exhibited at Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York as part of their Night Scented Stock exhibition.
Night Scented Stock will open on September 14 at Marianne Boesky Gallery's uptown space, located at 118 East 64th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenues. The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, October 22nd. For further information or images please contact Claire Pauley at claire@marianneboeskygallery.com or 212-680-9889.

    "... the artworks included inNight Scented Stockall share an otherworldliness that is peculiar and fantastic, yet somehow recognizable. Charting the phantasmagoric impulse over 500 years, this exhibition looks at artists' use of themes such as religion, decay,
transformation, and even abstraction as vehicles to deliver the fantastic and incite both their and our imaginations. Throughout art history, be it in the martyrdom woodcuts of Albrecht Durer, the inner landscapes of Pavel Tchelitchew, or Anj Smith's mystic dystopias caught between decay and chrysalis, artists have consciously imparted an elusive aura in their work that suspends it somewhere  between fantasy and reality. In walking this line between the demonstrative and the ambiguous, artists leave an inhabitable space for  our invention. Like the Night Scented Stock, their works have a  mysterious pull on both the beautiful and malefic thoughts that flutter in our minds."
