Schmidt Contemporary Art: Friday, 25 April 2008
LOUIS CAMERON: RECENT PAINTING, COLLAGE AND VIDEO
April 25 thru May 24, 2008
Opening Reception Friday, April 25, 6:00-8:00 PM
Gallery Hours: Wed-Fri 12.00-5:00; Sat 10:00-4:00 and by appointment
Schmidt Contemporary Art is proud to present Louis Cameron’s recent work from his series Tile Paintings. Cameron pieces together his paintings using tiles cast from acrylic paint (Benjamin Moore is his brand of choice), which are then affixed to the canvas or paper in a mosaic-like pattern. His colors are extracted from everyday consumer products that are often overlooked and seldom considered in terms of their color composition. In this exhibition Cameron works with such items as Marlboro cigarettes, Hershey's chocolate, Duracell batteries, and Priority Mail, among others.
For our first-ever video presentation, Cameron transforms the Heineken palette into a vivid abstraction of line and color.
A piece from Louis’s most recent New York exhibition was recently acquired by the Albright-Knox Museum whose primary focus is on collecting contemporary art and which is well known for its outstanding paintings collection.
