Pace Artists Represented in this show:
Suzanne Caporael
The compositions in Suzanne Carporeal's prints
are reminiscent of both color-field paintings and minimalism. She is concerned
in her paintings and prints with the ways in which pigments react to various
surfaces. Her abstract works are inspired by her natural surroundings,
and contain both organic and geometric forms.
Chuck Close
Chuck Close's subjects are his family, his friends,
himself, and fellow artists whose faces are described through his distinct,
meticulous marks. Working from a gridded photograph, he builds his images
by applying one careful stroke after another in multi-colors or grayscale.
His works are generally larger than life and highly focused. For Close,
it is the process of description that renders meaning, rather than the
subject itself.
Jim Dine
Jim Dine's arrival in New York coincided with the beginnings of the Pop
Art movement and the "Happenings", in which he was an early
participant. Dine's accomplishments over a forty year career as a painter,
sculptor, printmaker, and photographer have lead to international recognition
and acclaim. His emotional, gestured style and recurrent subjects
his hearts, robes, Venuses, flowers, birds, and portraits have
yielded images that not only hold very personal significance for the artist,
they have become cultural icons. Dine's prolific printmaking career is
currently being celebrated in the form of a major retrospective at the
Minneapolis Institute of the Arts.
April Gornik
April Gornik's subject matter is the light and
colors of the landscape. She is an especially talented draftsman and is
able through careful rendering to give her images vibrant luminosity.
Her images are never literal, however; the landscapes she creates are
imagined and emotional spaces. With their mid-air perspectives and unpopulated
expanses, they invite intimate, private contemplation.
Jane Hammond
Jane Hammond's work is composed of myriad layers
of media, ideas and associations. The process of piecing together an image
is a kind of meditative exercise for Hammond, having "more to do
with duration than texture. I see it as a function of time, like the idea
of chanting." She received her MFA from the University of Wisconsin
at Madison and now lives and works in New York City.
Mary Heilmann
Mary Heilmann, a bicoastal artist with roots in
California and New York, works in a variety of abstract styles. Most of
her compositions reference an underlying grid and display great sensitivity
to the relationships of interrelated fields of color. Experimentation
has always been crucial to Heilmann's creative process, first as a sculptor
and now as a painter-printmaker.
Pat Steir
Pat Steir's paintings and prints have been described
as a conversation with the past specifically with certain art historical
movements, from Abstract Expressionism to Romanticism to traditional Chinese
painting. Working with these influences, she explores the nature of visual
signs, symbols, and natural phenomena.
