Three artists

Florence Lynch Gallery, New York

Florence Lynch Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of works by Carolina Antich, Annette Bezor and Rivkah Hetherington. The exhibition is on view from October 14 through November 13, 2004.

The exhibition includes recent paintings by Antich, Bezor and Hetherington and an animated painting video by Carolina Antich. Also available from our flat file is a series of drawings by the artists.

Carolina Antich, South American, born 1970; lives and works in Venice. Antich has been working on a series of paintings with Children as the subject matter. When one ask in which period these children live, one realizes that they do not belong to any set time – they are children from the thirties, the fifties, but also from the nineties to date: they are outside time or at least in a suspended time-and in this sense one can say that they are classical.
Antich’s participation will include an animated video of the paintings.

Annette Bezor, born in Adelaide, South Australia. On exhibited are two large paintings, presented as a diptych. The paintings present sequenced images repeated with barely detectable contrasts and similarities, challenging the viewer to identify and decipher their individuality. The size of the painted image is massively enlarged by comparison with the original image, as if under a magnifying glass. It appears that two renditions of each original have been made, but while they appear superficially the same, there are subtle but important differences between the two images constituting each pair. A viewer’s preference for one version of an image over another parallels the process by which a viewer may find one person attractive and another not so attractive.

Rivkah Hetherington, British born, 1977. Lives and works in Bologna. Hetherington’s work started out as self portrait. Over the last six years she worked on a series of over twenty self-portraits. As she intended, hardly ever representing her face. She viewed each part of the body as a self-portrait because, as she says, each part of the body is unique and expressive. From the self portraits, Hetherington started to work with other women and depicting various parts of the body in creating portraits. Scars, the vagina, belly buttons, Nipples, are the personal parts that Hetherington zooms in on in creating these unique portraits.
