To Brooklyn
McCaig-Welles Gallery is pleased to present “To Brooklyn,” an exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Greg Lindquist. The exhibition will be on view from March 8 through March 31, 2007, with an opening reception for the artist on March 9 from 7 until 9 pm. The gallery is open from Tuesday through Friday, 11 am -7pm and Saturday through Sunday 12 -7pm.
Lindquist’s landscapes evoke Brooklyn’s industrial past and future residential growth. The exhibition documents specific sites of building and decay in the present Williamsburg waterfront and surrounding areas of Greenpoint, where construction cranes, glass and concrete structures rapidly supplant dilapidated warehouses and beaches of rubble, in anticipation of residential towers and public promenades.
These paintings and drawings seek to document the transformations through a subdued palette, balancing graphic sensibility with painterly animation. Lindquist’s work explores landscape as a memorial. As both physical fact and repository for collective memory, landscape becomes a work of the mind, the internal projection of an ethos onto a perception of external environment.
Greg Lindquist is an artist and writer. He will receive a dual masters degree in fine arts in painting and art history from Pratt Institute in the spring of 2007 and received his dual bachelor in art + design and literature from North Carolina State University. Lindquist lives and works in Brooklyn.
