Untitled Fair Miami
One of the advantages of looking at an art fair is that it is easy to see connections and trends. One such could be what I'll call the abstractly painted object and at the Untitled Art Fair there are several examples. Right at the entrance to the fair is a large wall installation by Cody Ryman @Dodgegallery. This goes along with the one person show at Dodge's booth where smaller pieces fill the walls. the work is both lyrical and thoughtful.
The building of wood blocks gives the work it's idiosyncratic nature while the overall structure loosely defines the compositional whole. The painting provides the lyrics. I was struck how one of the pieces seem to represent an homage to his father, Robert Ryman.
Yet it's done with a confidence that makes the piece his own. One of the artists on display @ Marc Straus gallery is Jeffrey Gibson. He paints on old ironing boards that he has covered with hides. Like Ryman the abstract marks add a lyrical quality to the work.
And there is the social aspect in the former utility of the object. Gibson also acknowledges the expansive powers of painting and color in his own homage to Dan Flavin.
Ryman and Gibson represent just 2 examples of this formula for found and painted objects at untitled worth viewing.
recently opened: “RAVISHING FAR/NEAR” Sheila Gallagher DODGEgallery, 15 Rivington St., NYC Often inventing specific processes in order to articulate a conceit, Gallagher sews a conceptual thread through diverse mediums. Inspired by visual and literary examples of sacred eros, including The Gita Govinda, Sufi poetry, and The Song of Songs, the exhibition explores the kinship between the spiritual, sexual, and creative through smoke paintings, large plastic reliefs, video, flower installations, and sculpture. - thru Dec 22 pictured: Cow, 2013, smoke on canvas, 40 x 50 inches
