Duane Reed Gallery presents the latest work of Jan Huling. Exhibition opens Friday, April 6th with a reception that evening 5 – 8pm. The exhibition will run through May 12th.
Grif Williams’ methodology involves an elaborate paint by number process he reinvented. Each segmented area of the composition is assigned to a specific color, a palette professionally mixed to replicate the distinctive colors in a 1950’s Color Craft paint by numbers set. The hand-made application involves repeated layers of poured transparent resin and stenciled enamel shapes. Intially, this meticulous process is belied by the graphic flatness and slick surfaces of the work, which may seem manufactured or digital.
Neither sketched nor planned, Huling‘s three-dimensional works draw inspiration from her travels to India and Mexico, as well as imagined, playful scenes reminiscent of childhood fairy tales and fantasies. Her work is approachable yet evocative, incorporating spiritual iconography alongside humorous artifacts of contemporary popular culture.
Gallery hours: Tuesday through Saturday 10-5 pm.
