Hillary Bleecker's drawings of trees attempt to capture a moment of
destabilization where hiding and revealing collide, a place between 'here'
and 'there'.
Using colored pencils, color's logic is systematically deconstructed and
reassembled collapsing exterior upon interior, strength upon
vulnerability. A moment results where time resides in a state of constant
flux.
Her work was recently included in 'International Paper' at UCLA Hammer
Museum.
Neal Rock paints with pigmented silicon, piped onto deep three-dimensional
supports using icing bags - the densely layered, glistening constructions
of paint which result are baroque in their decorative excess. Their
visceral surfaces enclose synthetic flowers and other appropriated objects
of commercial decortion; the silicon itself spreads across and away from
its support like an organic form. Neal Rock orchestrates our responses to
the work between fascination and gentle revulsion.
His work was included in 'Temporary Fiction' with David Burrows, Hew Locke
among others, and in November 2003 he's having his first solo show at fa
projects in London.
