SUMMARY:Linling Lu
DESCRIPTION:We knew Linling Lu was extraordinary the moment her work arrived on June 17\, 2011 for inclusion in a show at Carroll Square\, a space where we often tested the work of younger artists. She has since attracted greater and greater attention. She has been commissioned for multiple site-specific projects involving dozens of paintings\, has sold out exhibitions\, and nearly every work coming out of her studio is spoken for. Recent press coverage describes Linling as a “super star.” Long before deciding the gallery’s new location at 434 K Street\, we knew we would inaugurate the space with a show by Linling Lu. No other artist could better conquer an untested exhibition space. No other artist would show off the architecture of the new gallery to such a degree. No other artist would generate as much excitement. \nLu is an irrepressible talent who takes her audience to the next level in her work. Her precise\, yet unpredictable color choices surpass any previous artists’s theory and feeling for palette. Seeing the exhibition is to experience an expanding realization of color possibilities. The installation is sequenced differently than the typical gallery show; Lu juxtaposes her iconic large-scale circular paintings with oval arrangements of multiple works commanding entire walls. Lu studied both classical piano and landscape architecture\, and this show demonstrates her gift for architectonic statements with allusions to musical composition. \n\n\nPress releases\, including this one\, are tasked with proclaiming and projecting an artist’s past and future career success. There are greater aspects to Lu’s effort. She claims no space for personal expression and makes no plea for admiration. Her work is generous in character; it is universal. Everything about Lu’s practice pushes the viewer to consider life outside of the self. Through her extraordinary discipline\, Lu focuses our attention on an exterior experience. In that experience we attain a heightened sense of awareness.

SUMMARY:JULIE WOLFE: Under Their Gaze\, We Become Creatures
DESCRIPTION:We are distressed by the daily cycle of hateful and self-serving rhetoric. It skews us into unfulfilling reactions. We are out-of-whack. We fight to avoid turning off. Though ill-at-ease\, there is hope of something blooming from our better nature. In a small and special part of our society a growing number of artists are speaking of redress and solace. In their work we can find the energy to turn back on. It is at this moment\, within these circumstances\, that the gallery presents the fourth Julie Wolfe exhibition. To quote the artist\, “After the election some dark things became more apparent. My awareness has been heightened. Along with many others\, I am concerned about the social and cultural impact of this sort of spiritual crisis\, about the lack of truth. Through my work I am finding ways to cope and be hopeful. The upcoming show is a response. The show contains works from three series. There is the confrontational character of the ‘Under Their Gaze\, We Become Creatures’ series. In the landscapes from the ‘Venus: Site Specific’ series there is an otherworldliness. And in the ‘Magnitude of Equality’ paintings the gravity defying effects of the color and gray scale studies speak of the power of diversity and equality.” \n\n\nThe artist describes her show as a response to current events\, but none of the works in Under Their Gaze\, We Become Creatures are didactic. Each piece carefully provokes thoughts of potential catastrophe\, present dangers\, or feelings of dislocation. Yet the show is colorful\, hopeful. We experience a sense of generosity in the artist’s viewpoint. “I hope you find something to respond to\, something to contemplate\, to remember\, something that opens up in you.” Great artworks are machines of perpetual motion. They move us from tradition\, responding in the present\, pushing us towards the future. The artist reminds us that art is always connected to society.

SUMMARY:HEDIEH JAVANSHIR ILCHI: I surrender to you\, ashen lands and blue skies
DESCRIPTION:Moving to an aerial view\, observing from a distance\, there may be no such thing as a cultural war. There may only be a process\, a moment in an ever-evolving world of cultural forces. Although this viewpoint does not champion good or evil\, it does acknowledge movement and outcome. The paintings of Hedieh Javanshir Ilchi arise from cultures often portrayed at war. Each culture measures itself by a different clock. Each respective clock sometimes runs faster than the other\, then slower\, sometimes backward and then again forward. The clocks rarely synchronize\, until the conflicts are spent and the two clocks merge. Ilchi’s work takes us to an aerial viewpoint where we see traditional Persian imagery merging with modernist American painting techniques. The content is not in conflict\, but there is sense of broken parts coming together and things from a past appearing in a present. Contrary to our times\, where a speeding flow of expedient information engulfs everything\, Ilchi asks us to step back\, slow down\, take the aerial view. From this vantage point we see intricately executed tazhib patterns\, sometimes floating over and at other times captured within scenes of organic chaos. Chaos created by the layering of translucencies\, controlled pours and the topographical accumulations of paint. It is as though we are witnessing the reactions of chemical components. It takes time to comprehend the dazzling luminosities of her paintings\, to see the merging of two cultures. Yet Ilchi’s work is not of an ideal state\, there is a sense of trouble in her pictures\, an apprehension of beauty\, and a pining wishful-ness for the outcomes we are moving towards. \n\n\nHedieh Javanshir Ilchi was born in 1981 in Tehran\, Iran and currently lives and works in the Washington DC area. Ilchi received a BFA with honors from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in 2006 and an MFA in Studio Art from the American University in 2011. She has been awarded residencies at the Ucross Foundation\, Vermont Studio Center\, The Jentel Foundation\, and the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts. She has exhibited in New York\, Switzerland\, Washington DC and Winston- Salem\, NC and her work is included in several private and public collections. HEDIEH JAVANSHIR ILCHI: I surrender to you\, ashen lands and blue skies is the artist’s second exhibition at Hemphill Fine Arts.

SUMMARY:Rushern Baker IV: Post-World
DESCRIPTION:Rushern Baker IV seeks to capture the frenetic energy created by today’s socio-political malaise. This energy manifests itself in his paintings through layers of digital collage\, resin\, ceramic tile adhesive and paint. The various media are interwoven\, at odds\, and chaotic\, slowly revealing compositions of destruction. There are hints of collapsing columns\, drones shot down from the sky\, Soviet propaganda posters\, comic books\, fallen structures\, fire\, rocks\, and finally\, ash. At times\, Baker delivers a break in the rubble\, leaving us with a moment to exhale\, observe and ask\, “is this the beginning or the end?” \nFascinated by political theater and the socio-economic ramifications of domestic and foreign policy\, Baker cites structural breakdown as a recurring theme within his practice. If these paintings can engage with the world today\, it is through the complex feeling of vulnerability stirring everywhere\, every minute. Outside of societal unrest\, Baker is heavily influenced by Octavia Butler’s Afrofuturist novels\, most notably Parable of the Sower. He has linked his work to Black abstraction and artists such as Sam Gilliam\, Felrath Hines\, and Jack Whitten. Each canvas serves as a new edition of an ongoing battle\, a commonly shared saga of conflict and discontent. \n\n\nRushern Baker IV (American\, b. 1987) has exhibited his work both nationally and internationally\, including solo exhibitions at Scaramouche Gallery and The Cooper Union in New York City\, Honfleur Gallery in Washington DC\, and in group shows at The Third Line Gallery in Dubai\, The Harvey B. Gantt Center in Charlotte\, NC\, Bowie State University\, MOCADA in Brooklyn\, NY\, Koki Arts in Tokyo\, and Yale University. He received a BFA from The Cooper Union for Advancement of Science and Art in 2009 where he received the Jack Stewart Memorial Prize for Excellence in Painting\, and an MFA from Yale University in 2012\, where he received the Elizabeth Canfield Hicks Award for outstanding achievement in drawing or painting from nature. This is his first solo exhibition with HEMPHILL Fine Arts.

SUMMARY:Photographs from the Tom Birch Collection
DESCRIPTION:There is something inherently strange about a photograph: its pretense of veracity\, the illusion of an unpremeditated subject\, and the feeling of an unmediated presence. Herein lies the beauty of the medium and the opportunity for collecting photographs to become an adventure. A collection of photographs can tell us many things. In the best photography collections\, each photograph is a knot on a thread leading to ever deeper and more penetrating experiences of beauty. Sometimes it is an elusive beauty captured from the real world. Other times beauty is exposed within something boring\, horrible or shocking\, revealed by the craft of the photographer and the willingness of the viewer to engage. \nThe Tom Birch Collection tells us he collected fearlessly\, always reaching for the next new beauty. In reviewing personal collections one becomes used to seeing the predictable pantomiming of the reassuring qualities of the museum’s canon. One sees collections based on themes that barely recognize the inner dynamic of individual artworks. Some collections reflect only the desire to soothe\, never to challenge\, when so much more can be experienced. It is clear Tom Birch was spurred onward by a willingness to explore the widest range of what photography had to offer. This manner of collecting nudges the idea of taste away from a fixed set of rules into an evolving narrative of personal discovery. For Tom\, each photograph is a moment on a clock spinning backwards through his life\, telling him of the places his consciousness occupied before and then after acquiring each picture. \nSome collections are broken up among heirs\, some rightly go to institutions\, and others are sold. In the selling of the Birch collection there is the goal of setting the artworks free to travel into the hearts and minds of other people\, expanding their experiences of strange and wonderful beauty. Now\, it is time for each of the photographs to become milestones in other collectors’ lives.

SUMMARY:James Britton
DESCRIPTION:A devoted student of the natural sublime\, portraiture\, and visual criticism\, Connecticut-born artist James Britton gave his life to art. He was a prolific writer and note taker\, keeping detailed journals of his observations and notes on his life. These writings have compelled curators and historians to revisit his work\, having fallen into relative obscurity after his death in 1936\, a victim of ailing health and poverty. Despite his meager financial resources\, he used whatever tools and materials were available to him\, at times using scraps of cereal boxes as canvases for his paintings. He held a deep affection for the splendor of the New England countryside\, from Connecticut to New York\, and focused primarily on these subjects in the later years of his life. The 10 works on view in James Britton highlight the artist’s command of paint and light. None larger than a sheet of paper\, each painting reveals itself to be an exquisite object\, inviting closer inspection. Through this small survey of his later works\, we are given a glimpse into the artist’s celebration of the American Northeast of the 1920s and 30s. \n\n\nJames Britton (1878 – 1936) was born in Hartford\, Connecticut. Active in New York and New England from the 1900s to the 1930s\, Britton was well known as both an artist and a writer. In New York\, Britton formed an exhibiting group of artists called The Eclectics\, which included at times Maurice Prendergast\, George Luks\, Philip L. Hale and Theresa Bernstein. His work was exhibited regularly in New York City\, Connecticut\, Boston\, and Gloucester\, Massachusetts.  In addition to his published writings in American ART News and other periodicals and journals\, Britton maintained diaries over some 30 years. Britton’s papers are now at the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art. In 2005\, James Britton: Connecticut Artist\, was assembled at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London\, CT. His work is included in such collections as the Wadsworth Atheneum\, the New Britain Museum of American Art\, the Florence Griswold Museum\, The Mark Twain House and Museum\, The Parrish Art Museum\, and The New York Public Library. This show marks the first time the work of James Britton has been exhibited in Washington\, DC.
