Looking Back at the 1980s: Gifts to the Collection

September 03, 2016 - January 08, 2017 - The artists in this exhibition share an interest in exploring paint as an expressive medium and image making as a layered, experiential endeavor. For all the artists, surface and image coalesce in what David Deutsch described as a “balance of control and accident.” While Fariba Hajamadi’s diptych combines oil paint and photographic emulsion to create a mysterious narrative, Josef Ramaseder’s abstract painting relies on the centering force of a radiating wheel. For both, the images made by heat and light are as important as those made by the artist’s hand.
