Roy Fowler

Topaz Arts Gallery, New York

On view are large-scale oil paintings by the artist, developed recently over the past two years. In his latest series of black and white works, Fowler starts with a black surface, reworking paintings 3 or 4 times, allowing time and feeling to let lightness and composition emerge - giving them, as Fowler states, "a kind of memory that is embedded in the surface".


comunicato stampa

TOPAZ ARTS Visual Arts Program is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Roy Fowler on view October 10 to December 12, 2010

On view for the first time are large-scale oil paintings by Roy Fowler, developed recently over the past two years. A mid-career painter based in New York City, Fowler’s works emerge from nature. Developing a process of transferring his initial watercolor drawings, Fowler allows paint to have a life of its own in the larger canvas format, letting his “borrowed images from nature” take on new directions. In his latest series of black and white paintings, Fowler starts with a black surface, reworking paintings 3 or 4 times, allowing time and feeling to let lightness and composition emerge – giving them, as Fowler states, “a kind of memory that is embedded in the surface”.

Roy Fowler was born in Santa Barbara, California in 1952. He earned a BFA from the University of California Santa Barbara in 1976 and moved to New York that year. His work first appeared in a group show at the Queens Museum of Art in 1979, and his first solo show was at the Anne Plumb Gallery in 1985. He has continued to show in New York and abroad, most recently at the Patty Look Lewis Gallery. Recent awards include the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation and Artist’s Space. His work is in public and private collections, including The Eli Broad Family Foundation, The JP Morgan Chase Collection, The Equitable Collection, and the Contemporary Museum in Honolulu and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Currently he is on the faculty of the National Academy of Design, New York.

Fowler has created four set designs for the dancer/choreographer Molissa Fenley, appearing in her performances at the 92nd Street Y, “Regions” (1995), the Joyce Theater, “Trace” (1997), the University of Georgia, “Aquarium Trio” (2000), and again at the Joyce Theater, “Waiting for Rain” (2003) commissioned by Peter Boal for his debut performances of an evening of solo works. In conjunction with the opening exhibition, a special performance by Molissa Fenley and Dancers perform a new work “Planes in Air” with props designed by Roy Fowler.

An opening reception will be held on Sunday, October 10th, 3-5pm

Vent'anni di UnDo.Net, un'opera d'arte ideata da artisti che hanno coinvolto centinaia di altri autori e operatori nella costruzione di un ecosistema, di un dispositivo che ha influito a più livelli sul fare arte.
UnDo.Net è un dispositivo di creazione di valore immateriale; pensato come "ecosistema" della cultura contemporanea, come modello partecipativo che sviluppi la condivisione di ricerche, risorse e conoscenze, la collaborazione e lo scambio.
In questi 20 anni UnDo.Net ha perseguito il suo scopo: inventare un nuovo spazio, che prima non esisteva, di sperimentazione e di ricerca, di confronto e di dialogo.


Oggi

I risultati di questo lavoro collettivo sono riuniti nelle migliaia di pagine online che raccolgono la storia di tutti noi che ci occupiamo d'arte. UnDo.Net è oggi un archivio vivo e vibrante dal profilo internazionale che contiene e collega tra loro approfondimenti e documenti su autori, eventi, situazioni, ricerche e pensiero. Un patrimonio di risorse per studiare, comprendere e per sviluppare nuovi progetti.
Anche in futuro UnDo.Net rimarra' consultabile e a disposizione di tutti gratuitamente.


Domani

Le differenti personalita' che costituiscono il team di UnDo.Net svilupperanno le proprie diverse professionalita'.
