Sonja Roesch, Houston
The exhibition features new paintings and sculpture that reflect the complex rhythms, patterns, and visual anomalies found in urban environments and their surrounding sprawl. His work boldly dances on the line between depiction and abstraction twirling architectural elements such as telephone poles, office buildings, and billboards into stripes and swathes of color.
Gallery Sonja Roesch is pleased to announce a solo
exhibition of new work by Jonathan Leach. His first solo exhibition
in Houston features new paintings and sculpture that reflect the
complex rhythms, patterns, and visual anomalies found in urban
environments and their surrounding sprawl. The exhibition will open
July 11 and close on August 29, 2009.
Leach’s work boldly dances on the line between depiction and
abstraction dipping and twirling architectural elements such as
telephone poles, office buildings, and billboards into stripes,
swathes of color, and bisecting lines. The energetic friction of new
development and the memory of structures passed are harnessed to
dizzying and exuberant effects.
Three-dimensional spatial perception condenses and collapses bringing
form, depth, and color to the very surface of the canvas. Remarkably,
Leach is able to achieve the same ‘visual press’ in his sculptures
using plexi-glass cubes to further conflate structure and atmosphere.
Jonathan Leach lives and works in Houston, TX. He was born in
Lexington, KY in 1977. He earned his BFA from the Art Institute of
Chicago and has since been exhibiting his work throughout the United
States including a solo exhibition at The Waypost Gallery in Portland,
OR.
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 11, 2009, 5-7pm
