SUMMARY:KIKI GAFFNEY | NEXUS
DESCRIPTION:JANUARY 14 – MARCH 4\, 2023 \nKIKI GAFFNEYNEXUS \nMEET THE ARTIST RECEPTION: Saturday\, January 14\, 4 – 6 PM | Talk at 5 PM \nPentimenti Gallery is thrilled to present its first exhibition of the new year\, a solo show by Kiki Gaffney. \nKiki Gaffney’s works on paper celebrate nature’s careful balance between order and chaos. The high level of detail in her work invites the viewer to contemplate the everyday scenes of mother nature with higher regard. Kiki converts massive rock formations or wood logs into small\, dense motifs which she observes from her long moment of contemplation in nature. Gaffney merges nature’s chaotic lines and structures with set patterns found in geometrical forms to elevate an already majestic landscape into a new context. She contrasts both earthly and man-made systems\, and investigates a potential link between them. \nGaffney explores the passage of time not only in her patterns but in the process of making the work\, meditating on a subject as she creates. The repetition of patterns creates documentation of energy. She uses graphite to maintain precise control over her mark-making and to create very fine details. In Shift (graphite\, gold leaf on paper)\, the gold leaf changes depending on the light and the angle at which the piece is viewed. The incorporation of the gold leaf further elevates the subject matter to a new idol or relic. In others\, the luminosity of her acrylic and colored pencil contrasts the graphite to create an interruption in the structure of the work. She takes the seemingly everyday and slows us down to gaze upon its features. \nKiki Gaffney graduated from Loyola College\, Baltimore\, (BA) and the University of the Arts\, Philadelphia\, (MFA). She has exhibited with Woodmere Art Museum\, Philadelphia\, PA; Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery\, Philadelphia\, PA; Christys Art Center\, Sag Harbor\, NY; Krasdale Gallery\, New York\, NY; Modern West Fine Art\, Salt Lake City\, UT; Imperial Fine Art\, San Francisco\, CA; Susan Maasch Fine Art\, Portland\, ME; Julie Nester Gallery\, Park City\, UT. She is a five-time recipient of the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts grants and residency program. Her work is in the collection of Microsoft\, Canon USA Inc.\, Sonoma State University\, Capital One\, and more and various private collections. \nFor all inquiries\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990.

SUMMARY:MATTHEW KING | Another Side
DESCRIPTION:JANUARY 14 – MARCH 4\, 2023 \nMATTHEW KINGAnother Side \nMEET THE ARTIST RECEPTION: Saturday\, January 14\, 4 – 6 PM | Talk at 5 PM \nPentimenti Gallery is excited to present Matthew King’s first solo exhibition in Philadelphia. \nIn this new body of work\, Matthew King continues his investigation into the visual relationships between hard-edge abstraction and appropriated prints from various magazines. His sculpture-like paintings flirt with the minimalist movement comparable to the aesthetic blend of Peter Halley and Brice Marden. Another key element in his work is the use of single imagery. These originated from magazines of the 20th-century golden age through the extinction of so many publishing houses in the 21st century. King mounts the image on an aluminum panel that occupies a fraction of the painting\, and yet it still demands equal attention as the rest of the painted surface. By incorporating advertisements of American corporate giants such as the tobacco industry and pharmaceutical companies; these images depict an environmental fantasy. The juxtaposition of different aesthetics creates tension in the painting’s identity\, which teeters between picture\, object\, painting\, and collage. \nThe existing qualities and characteristics of the advertisements dictate Matthew’s decisions when painting. He reacts to the imperfect or perfect predetermined conditions of the image. His intense colors are mixed carefully to harmonize with the tones found in the offset printing process. Thick layers of acrylic paint are applied with a brush\, and yet the edges of all the geometric forms are executed with rigid precision. King’s approach leaves us with a serene sense of balance despite all the complex elements found in his paintings. \nMatthew King (Boston\, MA) received a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2010. Most recently\, King’s work has been exhibited at Marvin Gardens\, New York; Marvin Gardens\, London; Harper’s\, New York\, East Hampton\, and Los Angeles; SPRING/BREAK Art Show\, New York; Eric Firestone Gallery\, East Hampton; and Joshua Liner Gallery\, New York. His books\, The Vanishing American and This Side Down\, were published by Harper’s. \nFor all inquiries\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990.

SUMMARY:MICHELLE BENOIT | ReWeave
DESCRIPTION:OCTOBER 25 – DECEMBER 17\, 2022 \nMICHELLE BENOIT\nReWeave
  \nMEET THE ARTIST RECEPTION: Saturday\, October 29: 3:30 – 6:00 PM | Talk at 4:30 PM \nThis winter\, Pentimenti Gallery is delighted to present a solo exhibition by MICHELLE BENOIT. \nMichelle Benoit embeds her memories of people\, places\, and events by utilizing combinations of colors. Created with precision\, her fragment-like paintings and sculptures bare no mark-making or mounting of any kind. The sheets of lucite refer to physical evidence of time passing like layers of sediment or rings on a tree. Being symmetrical\, the work alludes to elements found in nature such as gemstones and insect shells. Despite their material densities\, they also have the appearance of fantastic futurist-inspired totems. \nIn ReWeave\, Benoit is introducing her sculptures to the public for the first time. These glass-like objects are created\, like her paintings\, with lucite\, a bullet-proof material. The reclaimed fragments are then cut\, painted\, and fused together to unveil a new composition of color that glows luminously from the inside out. Made of just one base\, Benoit’s astonishing new sculptures appear to defy gravity. Her works have a floating quality that is best revealed as the viewer is moving around the object. \nMichelle Benoit (b. Bridgewater\, MA) received a BFA from Rhode Island College and an MA and MFA from the University of Iowa. Benoit was the recipient of the Iowa Arts Fellowship at the University of Iowa\, the Merit Fellowship in Painting from Rhode Island State Council on the Arts\, Berkshire Taconic’s A.R.T. Grant\, as well as consecutive Special Talent Awards from Rhode Island College. Her work has been exhibited at museums\, institutions\, and galleries: Muscarelle Museum of Art\, Williamsburg\, VA; Bristol Museum of Art\, Bristol\, RI; Harper Center for the Arts\, Clinton\, SC; Sarah Doyle Gallery at Brown University; Jamestown Arts Center\, Jamestown\, RI; New Britain Museum of American Art\, New Britain\, CT; High Noon Gallery\, New York\, NY; Thomas Punzmann Contemporary\, Frankfurt\, Germany; Morotti Arte Contemporanea: Strata di Luce\, Milan\, Italy; and more. In addition\, her work is in many public and private collections including UT Southwestern Medical Center; Memorial Sloan Kettering; The University of Iowa Museum; and The Swain School of Design. \nFor all inquiries\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990.

SUMMARY:MARK KHAISMAN | The Crowds
DESCRIPTION:OCTOBER 25 – DECEMBER 17\, 2022 \nMARK KHAISMAN\nThe Crowds \nMEET THE ARTIST RECEPTION: Saturday\, October 29: 3:30 – 6:00 PM | Talk at 4:30 PM \nPentimenti Gallery presents its last show of the year\, a solo exhibition by MARK KHAISMAN. \nIn The Crowds\, Mark Khaisman manipulates tape to interpret mid-20th century crowds in an exquisite mosaic-like manner. By layering pieces of tapes\, he reconstructs well-known scenes of crowds down to their basic volumes and shapes. His inventive use of the medium manifests a crowd determined to celebrate or contribute to social or political change in the United States. While these images sound familiar\, the temperament of those large masses of people remains open to interpretation. The exact nature of the people stays a mystery as no expression can be made out on any face. Khaisman expresses an interconnectedness amongst the individual people and brings them together into something larger than themselves. \nIn his new work\, Khaisman creates vivid tones of red\, blue\, and purple by staining masking tape with acrylic paint and then layering them as a collage\, and occasionally with the use of nails. The image is then coated with an acrylic sealer to secure the work in place. \nIn the project room\, Coming Across depicts the “bystander effect” of the diffusion of responsibility for lack of action by individuals during global crises. The more conflicts we observe via our screens\, the fewer responsibilities we feel\, and still\, too often we choose to monitor the behaviors of others to determine how we react. \nThis immersive installation will present a Tape Noir Series made with aluminum dust on clear adhesive tape\, light box\, and other materials such as white tape and foam. \nMark Khaisman (b. Kyiv\, Ukraine) studied Art and Architecture at the Moscow Architectural Institute\, Moscow\, Russia. Notable exhibitions include: Queens Museum\, New York\, NY; Visual Art Center of New Jersey\, Summit\, NJ; Woodmere Art Museum\, Philadelphia\, PA; Vitra Design Museum\, Weil am Rhein\, Germany; BYU Museum of Art\, Proto\, UT; Yossi Milo Gallery\, New York\, NY; LeRoyer Gallery\, Montreal\, Canada; and more. He has been the recipient of many awards\, D&AD Awards 2009 Winner in Illustration\, NYF 2009 Print Bronze\, CLIO Awards 2009 Print Bronze\, and more and his works are found in the collections of Comcast Technology Center\, Philadelphia; Brandywine Trust Collection\, Philadelphia; British Airline Collection\, London; Delaware Art Museum\, Wilmington; NBC Collection\, NY; Vitra Design Museum\, Weil am Rhein\, Germany; West Collection\, Philadelphia; MoMA\, NY; and more. \nFor all inquiries\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990.

SUMMARY:KEVIN FINKLEA | Fall 022
DESCRIPTION:SEPTEMBER 6 – OCTOBER 15\, 2022\n\nKEVIN FINKLEA\nFall 022\n\nMEET THE ARTIST: Friday\, September 9 | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\n\nPentimenti Gallery opens the fall season with a solo exhibition by KEVIN FINKLEA.\n\nIn Fall 022\, this new collection of objects and works on paper continues to investigate color and form in the way Finklea has from the inception of his art-making practice.\n\nIn this new series of works\, Finklea’s objects are characterized by saturated hues and distinct contours which are only fully appreciated when viewed from multiple angles. The use of intense colors using acrylic (and iridescent pigment in some of the work) accompanies the deliberately irregular-shaped wooden forms. Each piece is created with exceptional use of materials and attention to detail. Ranging in size\, these objects use excess material from previous works and found wood pieces which in turn transcends the history and narrative of the medium used. Where the objects are not painted\, the exposed wood grain highlights the weight and solidity of the form. All of these elements combine to question each object’s relationship with mass and space.\n\nThe brilliantly colored drawings\, Doublevision series\, accompany Finklea’s objects as an immediate and fierce use of color and exploration of form. These drawings\, acrylic on paper\, have a high chroma and contrast in a way that pulls the viewer in.\n\nKevin Finklea received his BA from Tyler School of Art\, Philadelphia\, PA. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at museums and institutions Artspace Kunstraum Heidelberg\, Heidelberg\, Germany; Boecker Contemporary\, Heidelberg\, Germany; Fiterman Art Center\, New York\, NY; Saarlandishes Kunstlerhaus\, Saarbrucken\, Germany; KNO LabSpace\, Kyiv\, Ukraine; Ely House of Contemporary Art\, North Haven\, CT; Faux Mouvement Center dArt Contemporain\, Metz\, France; Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts\, Philadelphia\, PA; Neue Kunstmuseum Aschaffenburg\, Aschaffenburg\, Germany; Kunstmuseum Ahlen\, Ahlen\, Germany; Visual Arts Center of NJ\, Summit\, NJ; Woodmere Art Museum\, Philadelphia\, PA; 37PK Platform for the Arts\, Haarlem\, Holland; 2nd Biennial of NonObjective Art\, Pont de Claix\, France; among others. His works are found in private and in selected public collections Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts\, Philadelphia\, PA; Bridgepoint Capital Limited\, London\, England; Wilmington Trust Fund\, New York.

SUMMARY:SASKIA FLEISHMAN | Light Forms
DESCRIPTION:SEPTEMBER 6 – OCTOBER 15\, 2022 \nSASKIA FLEISHMAN\nLight Forms \nMEET THE ARTIST: Friday\, September 9 | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM \nPentimenti Gallery opens the fall season with a solo exhibition by SASKIA FLEISHMAN. \nFleishman’s paintings are a unique combination of interpretations of landscape photographs and geometric abstractions derived from the color studies in Josef Albers’\, The Interaction of Color. The origin of the photos comes from trips Fleishman has been on recently and her family’s collection of images from the Chesapeake Bay area. \nFleishman’s painting (acrylic and sand on digitally printed chiffon) follows several processes of deconstructing the landscape. These entail flipping sections of the photograph upside down\, tilting horizon lines\, or cutting out parts of the image entirely. Within her paintings\, the colored transparencies are created with chiffon and uniform acrylic paint application. The smoothness of the surface is contrasted by using sand which creates dimensionality in her paintings. \nThe ceramic sculptures on view in the project room do not conform to a formal structure or shape and are created with spontaneity\, unlike the carefully calculated paintings. These vessels mimic landscape and accompany these paintings as natural forms. The silhouettes in her sculptures reference fragments of the natural world such as waves\, raindrops\, or rocks. \nSaskia Fleishman received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design\, Providence\, RI. Her work has been exhibited at Unit London\, London\, UK; Cheryl Hazan Gallery\, New York\, NY; Goucher College Rosenberg Gallery\, Baltimore\, MD; Kates-Ferri Projects\, New York\, NY; Bellevue Art Museum\, Bellevue\, WA; Dinner Gallery\, New York\, NY; among others. In 2017\, she received the Artist Merit Grant from Vermont Studio Center\, Johnson\, VT. Her work is in the Fidelity Corporate Art Collection. \nFor all inquiries\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990.

SUMMARY:AUSTIN BALLERD + ERIN MURRAY | Breather
DESCRIPTION:JANUARY 21 – MARCH 5\, 2022\nAUSTIN BALLARD & ERIN MURRAY\nBREATHER \nMEET THE ARTISTS: Friday\, January 21 | 5 – 7:30 PM\nMasks are required. Please note that in light of the recent surge\, we will not be serving refreshments. \nPentimenti Gallery is pleased to present a two-person exhibition\, featuring the work of Austin Ballard and Erin Murray. This is the gallery’s first exhibition of the new year. \nThe pairing of Ballard and Murray focuses on and highlights the seven basic elements of art: shape\, color\, space\, form\, line\, value\, and texture. The success of a composition\, and thereby the strength of an artwork is often judged along the metric of how well an artist utilizes these seven elements. The viewer’s perception of the serendipity of an artwork aligns with the rules of these elements whether the viewer is conscious of them or not. \nBallard and Murray make work that innovates shape\, celebrates form\, dances through space\, makes decadent use of value and texture\, and is subtly accented with color. Both artists masterfully create playgrounds of abstract imagery from dreamlike\, shifting forms and decisive lines. \nAustin Ballard works in cane webbing and epoxy clay to build abstract sculptures that center movement and form. His multifaceted pieces weave through space and through themselves\, both in concept and materiality. Using processes derived from textile pattern manipulation and ceramic slab building\, Ballard synthesizes both traditional and innovative sculptural techniques to achieve dazzling effects. \nAustin Ballard (b. 1987\, Charlotte\, NC) received his MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and his BFA from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He has exhibited work at Provincetown Art Museum\, Provincetown\, MA; Smack Mellon\, New York\, NY; Wave Hill\, New York\, NY; Real Art Ways\, Hartford\, CT; Ithaca College\, Ithaca\, NY; among many other venues. He has been awarded a Joan Mitchell Foundation Sculpture Scholarship\, Windgate Foundation Fellowship\, Kenneth Stubbs Endowed Fellowship and the Rhode Island School of Design Graduate Studies Grant\, and fellowships to the Museum of Arts and Design\, Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown\, Vermont Studio Center\, Wassaic Project\, McColl Center for Art + Innovation\, the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop\, among other awards and fellowships. \nErin Murray’s drawings in ink and graphite depict dreamlike imagery that references urban landscape\, architecture\, and an obscure symbolic hierarchy. The perception of the viewer is invoked\, as the familiar forms of windowpanes and curtains become abstract projections of the mind’s eye. Soft\, curving forms\, bold latticework\, and veiling shapes all interact in transit across the surface like inversions of light beneath eyelids. \nErin Murray (b. 1979\, Philadelphia\, PA) received her BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art. She has shown at such institutions as Woodmere Art Museum\, Philadelphia\, PA; Center for the Contemporary Arts\, Wilmington\, DE; Rowan University Art Gallery\, Glassboro\, NJ; William Penn Foundation\, Philadelphia\, PA; Vox Populi\, Philadelphia\, PA; Fleisher Art Memorial\, Philadelphia\, PA; among many other venues. She is the recipient of a 2018 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant\, the West Collects acquisition prize and other awards. She has participated in multiple residencies and programs\, including The Drawing Center 20/21 Viewing Program. \nFor all inquiries\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990.

SUMMARY:LAUREN MABRY | The Degree of Movement
DESCRIPTION:OCTOBER 23\, 2021 – JANUARY 8\, 2022\nLAUREN MABRY\nTHE DEGREE OF MOVEMENT \nMEET THE ARTIST\nSaturday\, October 23 | 4 PM – 6 PM \nPentimenti Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of the sculptural ceramic work of Lauren Mabry. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. \nLauren Mabry’s newest work pushes the farthest boundaries of the physicality of form and material. Firing her kiln to the melting point of the lush\, vibrant glazes she uses\, Mabry transforms the material’s state of matter from solid to liquid to solid again. The work is both experimental and precisely calculated; the desired effect is only achieved within a narrow range of temperature possibilities. The Degree of Movement refers to the temperature at which the glaze morphs into a molten flow of gesture. \nMabry’s dimensional drawings escape the sculptural form and drip or melt across openings in the architecture in the work. The contrast between the geometric structure of the ceramic and the amorphous fluidity of the glaze pillars and drips is complicated by the mark-making on the surface of the ceramic. These drawn abstractions weave a language of symbolic connection between the different elements of the work. \nThe Degree of Movement is the product of both a vigorous research-based artistic practice\, as well as formal experimentation and innovation. Despite the process-oriented nature of the work\, the sculptures maintain strong senses of spontaneity and serendipity. Play and joy are integral elements of the work. \nLauren Mabry (b. 1985\, Madison\, WI) received her BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and her MFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

SUMMARY:JAN MAARTEN VOSKUIL
DESCRIPTION:OCTOBER 23\, 2021 – JANUARY 8\, 2022\nJAN MAARTEN VOSKUIL\nAROUND THE VOID \nMEET THE ARTIST\nSaturday\, October 23 | 4 PM – 6 PM \nPentimenti Gallery welcomes the holiday season with a solo exhibition by Jan Maarten Voskuil. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition at Pentimenti Gallery. \nJan Maarten Voskuil expertly calculates and constructs mathematically precise canvas stretchers\, over which canvas curves and dances in seemingly impossible paraboloids. The painted surfaces of the forms are as luxurious as they are minimal. \nIn this new body of work\, Voskuil opens up “voids” throughout the canvas for the first time. The junctures at which canvas once slotted together now pull apart and allow the medium of space to create forms within the paintings. The work pulls away from itself and reaches towards an airy but violent lightness. \nSeveral works are painted in a subtle array of off-white tones\, relating to the walls they allow to peep through\, and entering a dialogue with the space all around them. The monochromatic paintings in red and blue contrast sharply with these pieces\, and seem to reject the space they inhabit and that which is forced into them through the voids. \nVoskuil’s paintings not only speak in the languages of movement and color\, but joke\, dance\, and make mischief in these visual lexicons. The wry humor imbued in the work juxtaposes its formal precision and structural elegance\, just as sharply as the impossibly fluid contortions of canvas defy every expectation of the material. The smoothness of the surface\, combined with the dramatic movement of the stretched canvas beneath\, obscures the material so fully as to generate an entirely novel materiality. It is an active challenge to read these works as paint on canvas\, and perhaps “activity” is the operative feature of the works\, as they activate the viewer’s senses of space and possibility. \nJan Maarten Voskuil (b. 1964\, Arnhem\, Netherlands) received his MA from State University Groningen\, Groningen\, Netherlands\, and completed post-graduate study at Art Academy Arnhem\, Arnhem\, Netherlands. His recent exhibitions include The Mondriaan House Museum\, Amersfoort\, Netherlands; Gorcums Museum\, Netherlands; Stedelijk Museum Schiedam\, Netherlands; and many other museums and institutions. His work is in the collections of Frans Hals Museum\, Netherlands; Stedelijk Museum\, Netherlands; Museum Boijmans van Beuningen\, Netherlands; Wilhelm-Hack-Museum\, Germany; Museum of Geometric & MADI Art\, Dallas\, TX; Collection Sanquin\, Amsterdam; CCNOA\, Belgium; Museum Voorlinden\, Netherlands; as well as many private and corporate collections. Jan Maarten Voskuil is represented by Pentimenti Gallery in Philadelphia\, PA and Peter Blake Gallery in Laguna Beach\, CA. \nFor all inquiries\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990.

SUMMARY:Illusions and Other Protective Spells
DESCRIPTION:Illusions and Other Protective Spells brings together the work of three artists who engage in a metaphorical materiality\, connecting their imagery to the most visceral and vulnerable aspects of human experience. The work conjures ideas of home and displacement\, social and cultural subjectivity\, experience and its transcription into memory\, and the interplay between fragility and strength. The images have an environmental magnitude\, and speak to a sense of place or placelessness\, as well as to the emotional dimension of space\, including the concept of home and the visualization of an interior world. A prominent medium of fiber is employed by each artist\, imbuing the formal aspect of the work with a richly symbolic and immediate tactility. \nMelissa Joseph conjures works in felted wool that describe a reckoning with past and place. The works transfigure memories and images from Joseph’s family archive into works that resemble clouds or dream bubbles. The unique materiality of the wool is employed to reference both the selective specificity of individual memories\, and the distortion of recollection. Joseph’s artistic practice draws on her experience as a bi-racial woman\, addressing belonging and family through the lens of social confines\, expectations\, and inequities. \nMelissa Joseph received her BA from New York University\, New York\, NY\, her AAS from Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York\, NY\, her MAT from Rhode Island School of Design\, Providence\, RI\, and her MFA from Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts\, Philadelphia\, PA. She has exhibited at Fleisher Art Memorial\, Philadelphia\, PA; PAFA Museum\, Philadelphia\, PA\, Bemis Contemporary Art Center\, Omaha\, NE; Textile Arts Center\, New York\, NY; The Painting Center\, New York\, NY; Woodmere Art Museum\, Philadelphia\, PA; The Delaware Contemporary\, Wilmington\, DE; and many other institutions. She is the recipient of the BRIC Media Arts Fellowship\, PAFA Alumni Trust Award\, and many other awards. \nMimi Jung’s work in poly cord and paper on plywood resembles veils of obscuring and in turn revealing cloudscape\, over surfaces suffused with the glowing vibrancy of the woven elements that protect them. The dimensionally illusive undulations in the stitching give the impression of a flowing but protective barrier. Jung’s pieces generate a conversation about how and for whom self-preservation and defense against harm are employed and necessary. \nMimi Jung received her BFA the Cooper Union for Advancement of Art and Science\, New York\, NY\, and completed postgraduate study in Communication Design at Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst\, Basel\, Switzerland\, and in Fine Art at Städelschule\, Frankfurt\, Germany. She has exhibited at such venues as National Gallery of Victoria\, Melbourne\, Australia\, and numerous international design fairs and galleries. Her work resides in numerous public collections\, including UPlanet\, Gwangmyeong\, Korea; 505w19 Collection\, New York\, NY; The Ludlow NYC\, New York\, NY; and many more. \nEmma Safir creates mixed-media works incorporating digital collage\, fabric smocking\, and appliqué. Lush digital prints are interwoven in dazzling\, often humorous arrangements\, creating a dancing repartee between photographic imagery and abstraction. The works utilize their tenuous connection with photography to imply the distance between experience and memory. Vision\, place\, and objectivity are scrambled into blurred\, dreamlike images\, and soft\, indecipherable forms. Safir’s work has been selected to be a part of the 20/20 Photo Festival\, taking place throughout the city of Philadelphia during the month of September. \nEmma Safir received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design\, Providence\, RI\, and her MFA from Yale School of Art\, New Haven\, CT. She has exhibited at such venues as Kala Art Institute\, Berkeley\, CA; Yale School of Art\, New Haven\, CT; and University Galleries at William Paterson University\, Paterson\, NJ; as well as many others. She is the recipient of a Critical Practice Grant from Yale School of Art\, a Flair Foundation Artist Award from the Banff Center\, as well as many other awards. \nFor all inquiries\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990. \nVisit www.pentimenti.com for more information.

SUMMARY:Meadow's Blistering Berry
DESCRIPTION:SEPTEMBER 7 – OCTOBER 16\, 2021 \nGINEVRA SHAY\nMEADOW’S BLISTERING BERRY \nMEET THE ARTIST\nFriday\, September 10 | 6 PM – 8 PM\nPentimenti Gallery welcomes the fall with a solo exhibition of the photographs of Ginevra Shay. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition at Pentimenti Gallery. \nIn Meadow’s Blistering Berry\, Shay presents a series of unique chromogenic and silver gelatin photographs. The work is layered and luminous\, often comprised of multiple colorcast overlays\, and is hand-printed by the artist in color and black and white darkrooms. \nShay’s abstract photography defies easy entry or interpretation as it seeks to dismember the medium’s tendency toward structure and lucidity. Motifs of interiors and natural environments are present in the work\, but they are obscured and voided of context\, placed instead into fields of glowing color\, or decontextualized in monochrome. Process and narrative are entangled in the work\, as time and space bend to form a high-contrast vision of a reality intrinsic to dreams and film. \nShay’s work generates a visual poetry that observes and remarks on both the social and cultural conditions from which it was wrought\, as well as its own process of generation. Shay operates on the edges of ability and possibility\, and from this space develops both an intense depth and a wry sense of self-reflexive humor. The imagery deconstructs and reconstructs itself\, simultaneously engendering the chaos of lived experience\, and attempting to decipher it. The deeply compelling images carry worlds of association while maintaining an airiness and a levity that elevate them from the material world\, into a conceptual space of light and ether. \nThe exhibition has been selected to be a part of the 20/20 Photo Festival\, taking place throughout the city of Philadelphia during the month of September. \nGinevra Shay received their BA from the University of Vermont. They are a current MFA candidate at the Milton Avery School at Bard College. They have exhibited at Houston Center for Photography\, Houston\, TX; Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens\, Sint-Martens-Latem\, Belgium; PHROOM\, Odessa\, Ukraine; JEST\, Turin\, Italy; Center for Photography at Woodstock\, Woodstock\, NY; Maryland Institute College of Art\, Baltimore\, MD; Yale University Art Gallery\, New Haven\, CT; Institute of Contemporary Art\, Philadelphia\, PA; amidst many others. Their work resides in public collections including Yale University Art Gallery Library\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, International Center for Photography\, Indie Photobook Library\, Houston Center for Photography\, and many others. They are a Maryland Individual Artist Award recipient for photography. \nFor all inquiries\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990. \nVisit www.pentimenti.com for more information.

SUMMARY:DERRICK VELASQUEZ: Greatest Attempts | September 8 – October 25\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:SEPTEMBER 8 – OCTOBER 25\, 2020 \nMEET THE ARTIST & GARDEN RECEPTION (Weather permitting)\nSaturday\, September 12 | Time slots: 4\, 5\, and 6 pm \n  \nDERRICK VELASQUEZ\nGreatest Attempts \nPentimenti Gallery welcomes our first exhibition of the fall season with Derrick Velasquez’s Greatest Attempts\, the artist’s third solo exhibition at the gallery. \nDerrick Velasquez’s most recent work examines how our unwavering social and economic systems collapse\, regroup\, and reestablish themselves by creating a new reality. Our reconstructed use of time\, connectivity to nature\, and even indolence justify the present moment with whatever we were able to extract from our past. \nIn Greatest Attempts\, Velasquez presents painting\, sculpture\, video\, and a new collage series Ornamented Void. In his new works on paper\, Velasquez maneuvers sections of photographic imagery from European Baroque and Victorian architecture. This process allows him to exploit flat color fields to erase the visual weight of those structures. Still\, the essential aesthetic of the sculptural space remains true to its original nature. \nDerrick Velasquez reveals his first-ever painting series about the architecture of clothing from the seventeenth and eighteenth-century royalty and military commanders. Both architecture and architectural clothing of this time are much kindred to structure\, durability\, and depiction of hierarchy. \nWith his new works in both the architectural re-imaginings and the symmetrical and asymmetrical sculptures\, he unleashes culturally recognized buildings\, objects\, and materials from their typically assigned environments\, as he seeks to give them new depths of significance. \nShowing in our Project Room will be Velasquez’s video LUX. This time-based work is about losing touch in a time of faux luxury\, hierarchy\, isolation\, and global pandemic. \nDerrick Velasquez received his BA from the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and his MFA from Ohio State University. He exhibited his works at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver\, Denver\, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art\, Boulder\, Black Cube Nomadic Art Museum\, Denver\, CO; Herron School of Art and Design\, Indianapolis\, IN; Drexel University\, Pearlstein Gallery\, Philadelphia\, PA; Center for Visual Art\, Denver\, VAC University of Colorado\, Boulder\, RedLine Contemporary Art Center\, Denver\, CO; FOCA Biennial\, New Mexico Museum of Art\, Santa Fe\, NM; Arvada Center for the Arts\, Arvada\, CO; and more. He has been awarded by MacDowell Colony Fellow 2019; MassMoCA Assets for Artist Residency’18-’19; Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant 2017; Black Cube Nomadic Art Museum Artist Fellow 2015. His work is in the public collections of Temple University\, Philadelphia\, PA; Metropolitan State University of Denver\, CO; Miami University\, Oxford\, OH; Colorado Convention Center and in numerous private collections. \nTo ease concerns about COVID-19\, we will be following strict social distancing protocols. RSVPs are required and will allow guests to enjoy the Meet The Artist during a specific time slot\, thereby allowing us to control the number of guests inside. \nFor all inquiries and to RSVP\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990.
