Medium. Restless celebrities, wild animals, and sports cars are just a few of the symbols Magid employs.
Ana Cristea Gallery is pleased to present “Medium”, Brooklyn-based painter
Gina Magid’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. Using a seductive
combination of oil paint, charcoal, and other media on stretched satin, Magid
deftly integrates contemporary images that double as ancient and well-worn
archetypes in order to create her deeply layered and psychological artworks.
Restless celebrities, wild animals, and sports cars are just a few of the
symbols Magid employs, conjuring centuries-old ideas about mystic femininity,
communication, and transportation.
Responding to the painting as it develops, Magid uses layers of divergent line
and color to create a complex and unexpected beauty. Upon viewing her works,
the observer experiences a sensation akin to being caught between a dream and
conscious reality. Patterns emerge from the repetition of Magid's imagery,
creating a patch-worked harmony that explores a world somewhere between
observation and perception, waking and sleeping, and conscious and unconscious
awareness.
Gina Magid currently lives and works in Brooklyn. She was the recipient of a
Guggenheim Foundation fellowship in 2003 and a McDowell Colony fellowship in
2004. Magid has had solo exhibitions at Feature Inc., New York; Acuna Hansen
Gallery, Los Angeles, and Artists Space, New York. Her work has been included
in group shows at the Francis Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery,
Saratoga Springs, New York; DiverseWorks, Houston, TX; the Aldrich Contemporary
Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT, and Exit Art, New York, as well as in “Greater New
York 2005,” at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Long Island City, New York.
