just opened:
“On Location”James Rieck
Lyons Wier Gallery, 542 W24th St., NYC
The paintings in “On Location” are compositions painted from digitally composited studies of figures in grandiose landscapes. The figures are models poached from advertisements and the landscapes are classic displays of manufactured nature.. Rieck has always sifted source material from commercial advertising catalogs, but for first time, Rieck has deviated away from exclusively using commercial catalogs by introducing imagery from manufactured studio locations. - thru Apr 27
Always nice to see a former teacher killing it. This guy was like Obi-Wan Kenobi at MICA.

Juror Cara Ober States:“Looking back on my selection of works submitted for Area 405’s On Loan exhibition, the one principle that unites all my selections is a Formalistic approach to art making. On the whole, I chose the works that appealed to me on an intuitive level, but when viewing them as a whole, they all shared very particular visual systems and aesthetic-based outcomes. Rather than a conceptual focus, the works in this exhibit emphasize color, texture, contrast, pattern, layering, and unique approaches to media. Rather than sending an intellectual message, the artists I selected experiment with visual and formal relationships. On the whole they are down to earth, experiential, satisfyingly physical, and nonverbal.”
