Ram Samocha’s solo show of 3D metalpoint drawings closes at 5 pm on Sunday, October 14. Be sure to stop by if you haven’t yet seen this groundbreaking exhibit!
Next Thursday, October 18th, we welcome you to join sculptor Jiri Ladocha at the reception for his first solo exhibition at the Julie M. Gallery, 6 – 9 pm. The majority of work shown in To Hell With Posterity was created after 2007. This includes pieces from series such as H.2.0, Summertime, Mercury Run, Black Squares, and Of Time and the River, to name a few. His latest series, Wave, is inspired by the physics of water, which manifests in complex snaking bends in 3 x 5’ sheets of plywood.
The Waves are ambitious masterworks that may be paired as diptychs. Products of impressively original artistic vision, they reflect the constant expansion of Ladocha’s technical and aesthetic horizons—this is an artist who never repeats himself. The large scale of the Waves sets them apart from earlier series. They are finished in either reflective aluminum leaf or a velvet black created by coating graphite in beeswax. Both horizontal and vertical Waves will be featured!
