His work has been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Georgia, the Jacksonville Museum of Modern Art, and the Mobile Museum of Art. ![]() Ivcevich has had solo exhibitions in Washington DC, Chicago, Indianapolis, Atlanta, and Memphis. After his first solo show in 2001, Ivcevich was awarded a Pollack-Krasner Grant and was featured on the cover of New American Paintings in both the Southeast and Northeast. Recently Ivcevich began painting onto mirrored surfaces, an interesting twist that incorporates the viewer into the imagery. Ivcevich’s recent artistic output is inspired by his own photography of ready-made collages in the form of old posters layered in the New York City subways. The artist reduces imagery to its essential elements with brushed paint contained by a strong, raised line drawn in sign paint applied with a dental syringe. ![]() J Ivcevich seeks beauty, serenity and profundity in overlooked and mundane settings. There is an element of chance as together the grid and non-archival tape change in patina over time. Hoferer recently began to utilize silverpoint instead of graphite, giving the grid a finer, stronger line while strengthening its role in the finished work. She works with different brands of tape, each with its own characteristics of color, transparency, and reflectivity. She then cuts tape into pieces, arranging them into patterns over the grid. Hoferer applies a graphite grid to the paper. Marietta Hoferer builds drawings of tape and metalpoint on archival paper. Metallic finishes in Grubin’s art underline the interrelatedness of object, light and environment with fragments of reflective negative space appearing on – or within – the surface of the work. The resulting work of art is equally a product of the artist’s hand and of the environment in which it is displayed. Grubin creates installations, sculptures, and small wall works from pigment, paper, reflected color, cast shadows, and negative space. Joan Grubin utilizes paper, light, color, and space to create art objects that engage and commingle with the environment in which they appear. Adams is also a doctor, working as a part-time dermatologist, and in his art he plays with shiny, gnarly, and matte metallic finishes to evolve the skin surface of his organic abstractions. The sculptures of porcelain, terra cotta, and stoneware are fired over a wide range of temperatures with a variety of glazes. In the artist’s wall-hanging sculptures, a pioneering organism has entered an untapped environment, differentiating rapidly without departing too dramatically from its original form. – 6 p.m.įor artist information, images, or price and availability information:Ĭontact Elizabeth Garvey, 91 or THE ARTISTSĬhristopher Adams utilizes biological concepts - speciation, convergence, mimicry - as he creates ceramic works of “organic abstraction.” The sculptures suggest a variety of creatures, but not a specific organism. ![]() ![]() Gallery hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 11 a.m. Where: The Curator Gallery, 520 West 23rd Street, New York, NY, 10011 The artists engage in a multi-faceted reflection upon color, light, space, art, and the gallery space in their thinking, practice and artistic output. The artists make ingenious use of everyday resources, and a highly finished work might be the product of an unexpected process. A smooth, polished surface indicates the presence of the human hand, while a rusted or matte finish hails chance, the organic, and nature’s influence. For some, metal or a metallic finish draws in the viewer with a reflection, or blurs the boundary between artwork and environment. Each has a distinctive approach to installation, process, media and perception. The exhibition features eight artists whose works are composed of or inspired by the glimmer and gleam of metal or metallic materials. Garvey | Simon Art Access is pleased to present Musing Metallic, a group exhibition curated by Elizabeth Garvey on view at The Curator Gallery, 520 West 23rd Street in New York.
