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. Her work has exhibited at such museums and institutions as The Delaware Contemporary\, Wilmington\, DE; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art\, Kansas City\, MO; Jingdezhen International Studio\, Jingdezhen\, China; GoggleWorks Center for the Arts\, Reading\, PA; Gaya Ceramic Design Center\, Ubud\, Bali\, Indonesia; Zanesville Prize Exhibition\, International Juried Exhibition\, Seiler’s Gallery\, Zanesville\, OH; Kimball Art Center\, Salt Lake City\, UT; Daum Museum of Contemporary Art\, Sedalia\, MO; Strohl Art Center\, Chautauqua\, NY; National Council on Education for Ceramic Arts\, Kansas City\, MO; Grand Arts Building curated for Kansas City Art Institute\, Kansas City\, MO; The Clay Studio\, Philadelphia\, PA; Lux Center for the Arts\, Lincoln\, NE; New Art Center\, Newtown\, MA; Raphael Prize Exhibition\, Society for Contemporary Craft\, Pittsburgh\, PA; Milwaukee Art Museum\, Milwaukee\, WI; NCECA Biennial\, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft\, Houston\, TX; The Bemis Center for Contemporary Art\, Omaha\, NE; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art\, Overland Park\, KS; The Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts\, Helena\, MT; among others. Her work is represented in permanent collections at Fuller Craft Museum\, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art\, Daum Museum of Contemporary Art\, Sheldon Museum of Art\, The Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts\, and Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. She is the recipient of individual grants from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage\, The Independence Foundation Grant\, and the NCECA Emerging Artist Award. \nFor all inquiries\, please contact us at mail@pentimenti.com or +1 215.625.9990.

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.
