- Summary:
- True Believer means many things--unshakable sincerity, paranoia, or religious zeal. In this exhibition, layered connotations spark interaction in a dynamic group of familiar subjects. In works that range from near monochrome to painstaking realism, painterly craft overwhelms our sense of recognition and pulls us into a game of elusive meaning. A red plastic gas can, perfectly lit, casts a warm shadow across a pale green surface that evokes the distinctive aroma of standing at the pump. The vessel, dropped asymmetrically to the bottom right of the canvas, bears the inscription Fuel 5G. In the velvety green embrace of New Leaf, we are confronted by seven feet of lush specificity. Resting on its tip, the oak leaf's frontal presentation intimates a more generic arboreal symbol or even the air freshener dangling from a rear view mirror.
