Yet Still Standing - Not Yet Standing Still!
Denise Bibro Fine Art, 529 West 20th Street, Chelsea,
NYC, is pleased to announce our fifth solo exhibition
of Gordon Boardman, Yet Still Standing- Not Yet
Standing Still.
Influenced by abstract expressionism, his work is
comprised of canvases filled with explosions of color
juxtaposed with dramatically sharp black incisions of
lines. Boardman's work pays tribute to the color
palette of Chagall and the constructivist tendencies of
Joseph Stella.
Boardman's strong demarcation of
sensual human physicality lost amidst a wild jungle
formation entices the viewer to examine the works
more deeply, beyond the montage of the beautiful
color planes. Much like a kaleidoscope, the range of
colors in each piece -- from the sedated pastels
flowing within "Look No Further" to vibrant primaries
jumping off the canvas of "Can You Find Me?"-- have
an ordered chaos transmitting a deliberate spark of
emotion as well as a visual sense of depth and space
that is vital in understanding and appreciating the
works. His organic forms and gestural brushstrokes
are the perfect means of channeling bold energy that
resonates through to the viewer.
Gordon Boardman has exhibited extensively
throughout the US including solo shows at Chuck
Levitan Gallery, NYC; Frank Bustamante, NYC; ARC
Gallery, Chicago, IL; Foundry Gallery, Washington,
D.C.; and the Creative Arts Gallery, Central Michigan
University. Among his most recent group exhibitions
are the West Michigan Area Show, Kalamazoo
Institute of Arts, where he was the National City Grand
Prize Winner; juror: Gregory Gillespie. He also was in
the Priva B. Gross International Works on Paper
Exhibition at Queensborough Community College and
he exhibited in the Permanent Collection Exhibit at the
Grand Rapids Museum. Boardman was educated at
the University of Wisconsin, Madison and has his MFA
from Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI.
There will be a reception for the artist on Thursday,
July 19th from 6-8pm.
