David Richard Contemporary is pleased to present Framework, a group exhibition
of paintings by Trygve Faste, Jacob Feige and George Rush. The paintings have a
photo-real quality, yet they are entirely fictional. Each composition seems
framed, either through the lens of a camera, a window or other device that
filters and directs our attention.
Trygve [UTF-8?]Faste’s paintings are seductive with rich colors and abstract
patterns, yet subtly disturbing as the lighting and settings seem unreal and
disorienting with the mix of interior and exterior elements within the same
painting. His art comments on technological innovations impacting and
influencing our culture, which in turn, dictates our immediate environment and
living space. Thus, natural landscapes have been replaced by highly constructed
interiors and cityscapes adapted to our cultural demands.
Jacob Feige paints spectacular, sublime landscapes of very personal locations in
Colorado, New York and California that border on utopian. Overlaid with colorful
geometric abstractions, splashes and drips, they push into the realm of the
psychedelic. The abstract structures create framing devices and a kaleidoscope
of color through which earth can be viewed from afar. Oddly, the layering of
abstractions seems nearly natural.
George [UTF-8?]Rush’s work is somewhere between realist painting and
abstraction with spaces that seem familiar and real, yet they are entirely
fictional, derived from magazine images, personal photos and his imagination.
Contemporary interiors and architectural features dominate his paintings with
large glass windows providing reflections, glare and city vistas beyond. An
unsettling mood is created with apocalyptic lighting, strong cast shadows from
modern furnishings and the sense of disorganization during a period of
transition, like catching someone while moving in or out of the space.
David Richard Contemporary is located in downtown Santa Fe north of the historic
plaza. The gallery offers a range of important contemporary art with an emphasis
on abstraction in a variety of media by established and emerging American and
international contemporary artists.
Gallery Hours: Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6
PM
