SUMMARY:Sobin Park: Dragons and Maidens
DESCRIPTION:Elga Wimmer PCC\n526 West 26th Street\, New York\, Suite #310 • Tel: 212.206.0006 • www.elgawimmer.com \n\n\nSobin Park\n\n\n“Dragons and Maidens” Curated by Dr. Thalia Vrachopoulos \n\n\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:\nElga Wimmer PCC proudly presents the exhibition Sobin Park: Dragons and Maidens that will run from February 25 through March 15\, 2020. An OPENING RECEPTION will take place on Thursday\, February 27\, 2020 from 6-8PM and\, a Brunch during Armory Show on Saturday March 7th\, 2020 from 1-4PM. \nSobin Park’s positive manifestation of the Eastern dragon as a fortuitous and royal sign is altogether different than most western guises of the dragon viewed as monster that brings destruction in its wake. In the east the creature holds positive\, life affirming\, divine significance moreover\, in Park’s iconography his inclusion and meaning are further enriched. \nAlthough varying morphologically according to historical period and geographical area\, generally\, dragons have been represented with scaly skin\, long teeth and a serpentine body. In the east\, this composite animal is seen as a wise and angelic beloved creature to which many a temple has been dedicated. Dragon legends have recently been used by many to express shifting social attitudes within modern civilization as well as a pluralist position towards ethnic inclusion. Park uses this icon to convey not only the marriage between the physical and divine aspects of life but also the manifest destiny arising from such a union. Park’s maidens are beautiful usually shown entwined within the dragon’s embrace\, sometimes in the midst of transforming from dragon to female or vice versa. This is evident in the scales that populate the female’s lower regions but also in the almost human tenderness of her dragons. Park shows these two figures intimately inter-relating\, and totally absorbed in each other’s form that may even be described in the Surrealist sense as ‘convulsive beauty.’ \nPark employs a work-intensive methodology using pencils on extremely large formats of paper and canvas that span the gallery walls undulating and unfurling themselves horizontally akin to the dragon’s forms. For this exhibit Park exhibits several of her monumental canvasses but also several smaller vertical pieces. \n\nSobin Park\, “Birth of New Female” 450 × 230 cm\, Pencils on paper\, bronze powder\, 2019\nFOR MORE INFORMATION: Please contact the gallery or the curator at tvrachopoulos@gmail.comor212-691-7978 • Hours\, 12-6 M-Sat\, Tel 212-206-0006\, www.elgawimmer.com

SUMMARY:Mary Hrbacek: HUMAN NATURE: PEFKA & SYCAMORE
DESCRIPTION:ElgaWimmer PCC\n526 West 26 Street\, New York NY 10001\, Suite 310\, Hours 12-6\, T-S • Tel: 212.206.0006 • elgawimmer.com\n\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: \n“I wonder if our initial relationship to trees is aesthetic rather than scientific. When we come across a beautiful tree\, it is an extraordinary thing.” — Francis Halle\, Botanist \nMARY HRBACEK \nHUMAN NATURE: PEFKA & SYCAMORE \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, January 9   6-8 pm.            \nJanuary 9 – February 1 \nElga Wimmer PCC is pleased to present a one-person show by Mary Hrbacek\, featuring new work consisting of drawings\, paintings and painted drawings. Ms Hrbacek’s signature theme focuses on her unique depiction of trees\, as they relate to the “human form in nature\,” inhabiting the margin between figuration and abstraction.  Her work calls into question the status quo in society that tends to view nature as a separate entity to be exploited instead of recognizing the inherent interconnectedness of living things. \nThis fascination with nature and transmuted natural forms has been explored by other artists in the past\, most notably Dorothea Tanning and Georgia O’Keeffe. While Tanning took a more mythological approach\, Georgia O’Keeffe’s Cow’s Skull has a direct link to Hrbacek’s “Enclosed Torso.” The latter depicts a “body” of a tree that is fenced in\, as if preserved or protected. Hrbacek expresses these perimeters by situating her trees within the simple architectural boundaries of cafes or restaurants. She views their setting as being “embraced\,” within limits\, which parallels her life experience today. \nThe mythological themes of transformation in Hrbacek’s works\, anchored in stories suffused with feelings of regeneration by Roman poet Ovid\, suggest meanings such as the universal thirst for redemption. The Pefka serve as mute witnesses to the influx of displaced persons who came to Greece following increased international conflicts. The trees serve as symbols of resistance in the face of climate change and political indifference.\n\nThe much more austere charcoal drawings on paper are made of compressed tree bark\, that recalls muscles and flesh\, the powerful forces of nature. Here too\, vertical lines encase parts of the tree which interact with contrasting zones of shadow and light. The lines zoom in on twisted sections that seem to burst out of the frame. \nThe show culminates with the larger painted drawings\, which offer a more abstract depiction of the tree. Ms Hrbacek applies a light hand across the canvas\, and even though this work is acrylic on canvas\, there is an element of drawing in play. The “bodies” of the trees seem ephemeral\, shadow-like\, and play beautifully with the light within a black and white ambience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBurgeoning\, acrylic on linen\, 18×36\,” 2019 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwisted\, Naxos\, charcoal on paper\, 22×30”\, 2016 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTree Dancers\, acrylic\, gesso on canvas\, 6×4\,’ 2019 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n—\n \n\nElga Wimmer PCC\n526 West 26 # 310\nNew York NY10001\ntel. 1 212 206 0006\nwww.elgawimmer.com

SUMMARY:Luiz D’Orey | Rumor
DESCRIPTION:Rumor\nLuiz D’Orey \nSeptember 27 – October 19\, 2019\nOpening reception Friday\, September 27\, 6-8 PM \nGallery hours: 12-6 and by appt \nELGA WIMMER PCC is pleased to present Rumor\, an exhibition of the Brazilian contemporary artist Luiz D’Orey. The exhibition presents D’Orey’s new series of paintings\, a video and a sound installation. Curated by Flavia Tamoyo. \nRumor is an investigation on the invasion of public opinion into a space that was once exclusive to big broadcasting companies. In his series of paintings entitled Cascade — as a reference to the juxtaposition of windows on a computer interface — D’Orey combines the techniques of spray painting\, laser printing and laser cutting to create visual equivalents to the flow of information in social media. The video and sound installation further explore the manipulation of appropriated content as masses of agglomerated text and noise. \nCascade is a reference of superposition of images on a computer interface or on screens in general. “It’s an investigation on the flow of information.” In his paintings and interventions\, Luiz investigates the processes of circulation of information and its systems in the urban and digital context. The new series refer to both physical space and the digital space of social media. “The pixel and the image as a whole and the superposition of texts and images to the point it becomes a sort of ‘noise’ – an abstraction\,” a 21st Century Graffiti. Luiz D’Orey\, in an earlier series\, used torn images of billboard advertising to create his paintings. \nLuiz d’Orey was born in 1993 in Rio de Janeiro and moved to New York in 2012. He received his BFA degree from the School of Visual Arts in 2016. During the four years attending SVA he was granted the 727 Award (2016)\, the Sillas H Rhodes Award (2016)\, the Gilbert Stone Scholarship (2015)\, and in 2016 was also chosen to represent the institution at Pulse Art Fair in Miami. The artist has worked as an assistant for the two prominent Brazilian artists Carlos Vergara and Raul Mourão. D’Orey’s paintings have been shown in group shows and fairs in the US\, Europe and Brazil. His first solo show Quase Plano (2017)\, took place in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, at Mercedes Viegas Gallery\, and was followed by the solos Espaço Comum (2018) at Dotart Gallery in Belo Horizonte\, Brazil\, and Recent Ruins (2018) at Gitler & Gallery in New York City. In 2018 his short film Tapume (2018)\, co-produced with Hugo Faraco\, was nominated to the DOC NYC film festival. In 2019 d’Orey was nominated for the PIPA prize in Brazil. His work is also part of the Pipa Institute collection in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil. \n\nImage caption:\nLuiz D’Orey\, Cascade #23\, collage of laser prints and spray paint on paper\, 31\,5″ x 23\,6″\, 2019.
