Florence Lynch Gallery is pleased to present Going Off, an exhibition of
recent paintings by Theresa Hackett.
Theresa Hackett’s new paintings are colorful, obsessive, animated,
abstractions of ocean wave, and hybrid landscapes. These paintings are
on paper mounted on linen, which is an interesting departure from her
earlier works on wood. Working on paper has brought out the drawing and
obsessive quality in her works and yet preserves a lightness of
materials. Materials are Hackett’s strength; she lets the materials lead
her into a painting/non-painting dialogue such as in her use of color.
Some color is applied and other is found, materials such as felt, foil
sand, and ballpoint pen replace the traditional brush stroke with that of
concrete gesture.
This dialectic that Hackett creates for herself is full of mesmerizing
and seductive qualities. She provides us with one part visual meditation
and the other of a disconnected cartoon. This bipolar reading gives the
viewer a choice of various levels from which to approach the painting and
above all, the possibility to share in her visual pleasure.
This is Theresa Hackett’s second one-person exhibition with the gallery.
