BIO
I am a young emerging female painter who hopes to become deeply involved in the third wave feminist movement. My erotic abstract oil paintings can be experienced as an eccentric baroque opera loaded with authentic human drama. The inspiration for the work is filtered through youth spectacle culture. I'm making sexy and alluring images that translate like sweet candy in colors filtered through beauty and spectacle culture. Hot and cold vividly saturated and high key colors of deep glazes create a visceral glossy layering of oil paint. Formally, arousing shapes are suggestive of the body, while at the same time describing the body

COMPLEX COLLISIONS PANEL DISCUSSION


Dates:
Thu Dec 11, 2003 00:00 - Mon Dec 01, 2003

Locus Media Gallery presents COMPLEX COLLISIONS, a two-person exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by the artists JULIE DURKIN and BOB MARTY. December 4, 2003 through January 9, 2004. Opening reception December 4th 6pm-9pm.

JULIE DURKIN's oil paintings are performances, capturing the play of a young woman in a world of glamour, gesture and color. The paint is poured, splashed, splattered and smeared and gives rise to textures both flat and glossy. Her brush is driven by gender and her palette runs hot and cold. The work is cerebral, complicated and layered; mostly, it arouses our senses.

BOB MARTY uses an "image-bank" to paint, draw, sculpt, videotape, photograph and extract fresh metaphors, myths and narratives from a myriad of sources. More than being mixed, his media collides, as do the worlds of refinement and primitivism he so amply evokes. Using a language that is equally arcane and modern, Marty synthesizes the fruits of these processes inside wooden structures made from found elements; he propels us beyond everyday perceptions into a world of dreams and intuition; wisdom and faith.

Panel discussion on December 11th 7pm with Phoebe Hoban, Rachel Green, Katherine Chapin and Carter Ratcliff.
