comunicato stampa

Jacob Magraw and Kyle Field

Jacob Magraw's meticulously crafted gouache paintings feel like scientific illustrations of bio/horticltural experiments run amok complete with cut away views that reveal intricate geological and botanical processes. Their scale and meaning left ambiguous by an intentional lack of recognizable reference, civilized or natural that might reveal their secrets. The results are hyper inquisitive, human engineered hybrids that feel perfectly in step with the ever escalating race to unlock the secrets of nature through scientific investigation.

Kyle Field's drawings revolve around idiosyncratic metaphysical musings, autobiographical yearnings, and elaborate esoteric maps. Political and philosophical affiliations are unapparent in paired down narratives that focus on fundamental human desires. Field wittingly dislodges images and sentiment from familiar and expired stylistic sources and radiantly reanimates them; the result is a private new language that lures the viewer in with a constrained sense of nostalgia. A muted palette serves to balance the drawings ethereal quality.
