Fascinated by astronomy and finding our place within the universe, Lambrechts' oil and plaster works, with their richly textured surfaces appear like astronomical or urban scapes or perhaps even geological strata.
Fascinated by astronomy and finding our place within the universe, New York based Belgian artist Marc Lambrechts’ oil and plaster works, with their richly textured surfaces appear like astronomical or urban scapes or perhaps even geological strata.
Marc Lambrechts “a walk through mini mini space†will be at Joie Lassiter Gallery on the 11th floor from November 19th 2004– January 14th 2005.
Belgian born artist Marc Lambrechts studied first as a printmaker at The Higher St. Lucas Institute in Brussels and then obtained his MFA from The Pratt Institute in New York. He became fascinated by creating a more dimensional presence, deeply layering plaster, metal and pigment onto panel the artist then scrapes and gouges, revealing and concealing colors and materials within painting. From a distance the surfaces appear smooth and drawn, as one approaches, it becomes apparent that each line and color is etched or buried within the piece, imbuing the work with the element of time. Looking from the monoprints to the paintings one can see that Lambrechts explores his ideas cohesively in both mediums, fusing expressionist gesture and post-minimalist geometric abstraction.
A public reception for the artist will be held in the 11th floor gallery November 19th 6-9pm – the artist will be present.
