Jo Wood-Brown

Paul Sharpe Contemporary Art, New York

Viewed

Presented in cooperation with The Durst Organization

Paul Sharpe Contemporary Art, in cooperation with The Durst Organization, presents "Jo Wood-Brown: Viewed" with a reception on Thursday, July 12th from 6 to 8 PM at Show Walls, 1133 Avenue of the Americas. The show will be on view now through August 13th. Co-curated with LL Powers, Jo Wood-Brown exhibits paintings from a new body of work entitled Audience 4 Ort.

Wood-Brown is a SoHo, New York City-based, multimedia artist. In this new body of work she takes inspiration from a found black and white photograph of an audience in rapt attention of an event unknown. Using her imagination, she begins a conversation between the known and the unknown, the past and the present. Color and scale, foreground and background are distorted so that the viewer becomes the spectacle. The boundaries in the paintings lead to open borders where a synchronism between viewer and viewed invents a new present.

Wood-Brown has exhibited her work widely, both as a painter and as an installation artist. Her work is included in this year's Vision Festival. She often collaborates with dancers, musicians, and filmmakers. Wood-Brown is the founder of Artist Exchange International, a program to promote an international dialogue in contemporary art issues amongst artists in various countries. An AEI program, entitled "Through Our Eyes: Wuppertal/New York," will be hosted by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York this fall.
