Stephen Ellis
May 23 Â June 22, 2002
Von Lintel Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by
Stephen Ellis.
These intimately-scaled paintings demonstrate the qualities of visual
syncopation and contemplativeness familiar from Ellis's previous work.
Using a palette that ranges from aggressive to elegiac, Ellis brings
together elements from sources as diverse as Eadweard Muybridge's
photographs and the religious paintings of medieval Tibet.
In an essay accompanying Jump, an upcoming group show of contemporary
abstract paintings, Ross Neher evaluated the artist's work in these terms:
Stephen Ellis's unerring painterly skills enable him to marry rigorous
classical structure with suave process, the synthesis of which yields some
of the most significant abstract painting made today.
Stephen Ellis has exhibited widely in the United States and Europe. In
recent years his work has been included in "New Abstractions", curated by
the Reina Sophia in Madrid; "Abstraction/Abstractions" at the Musée d'Art
Moderne de Saint Etienne; "After the Fall: Aspects of Abstract Painting
Since the 1970s" at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center, New York; "Vertical
Painting" at P.S. 1; and "Grays" at Paula Cooper Gallery. Ellis is
represented in numerous public and private collections internationally.

Gaston Bertin
May 23 Â June 22, 2002
Von Lintel Gallery introduces the photographs of Gason Bertin in an
exhibition that marks the artist's first solo show in the United States.
Bertin's richly saturated c-prints extend the photographic tradition of
experimentation with abstract forms. Influenced by graphic and industrial
design, Bertin photographs his own paper constructions in extreme soft
focus. The highly imaginative results demonstrate a profound understanding
of light, color and form.
In the picture: 'Image of Nothing'Color "C" Print 40" x 60"
Gaston Bertin studied photography, industrial design and landscape
architecture in the United States and Europe. He lives and works in
Barcelona, New York and France.

Opening reception: Thursday, May 23, 6-8 p.m.
