Mark Moore Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Lisa
Stefanelli.
With disarming beauty, Stefanelli's paintings present the space beyond the natural
world. With imagery taking form through a series of red lines, Stefanelli's shapes
mimic and copy one another while defying redundancy through their evolution of
structure. Adding personal reflection to the methods of production, Stefanelli's
forms also relate to her own history as a competitive ice skater, her forms twisting
and turning in elegant lines of hermetic remembrance for passing moments in time and
place.
The organic, flowing red lines in her two new series Wifery and Turn Pike contrast
against background colors remembered from both the dull beige of a computer
keyboard, to the color of the sky before a summer thunderstorm, evoking tension
between the organic shapes and the process of fabrication of the physical painting.
A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Stefanelli has shown extensively
with Pierogi gallery in New York. In 2005, she was included in Extreme Abstraction
at The Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York.
Mark Moore Gallery is also pleased to present new work by Jon Flack.
Attracted to images of urban decay, Flack's paintings consider the physical,
cultural and spiritual manifestations of the city and its inhabitants. Using
photographs and drawings from both life and recollection, Flack's paintings combine
realist portraiture with a fictional sensibility stemming from his interest in the
various aesthetics of objects left to time and neglect.
Flack graduated from the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston - Salem and
the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. He has exhibited at HEREArt, 31
Grand and Nest galleries in New York. This will be Flack's first exhibition of work
on the West Coast.
