Mark Moore Gallery is pleased to announce new paintings by Lisa Stefanelli.
With disarming beauty, Stefanelli’s paintings present the space beyond the natural world. With imagery taking form through a series of red lines, Stefanelli’s shapes mimic and copy one another while defying redundancy through their evolution of structure. Adding personal reflection to the methods of production, Stefanelli’s forms also relate to her own history as a competitive ice skater, her forms twisting and turning in elegant lines of hermetic remembrance for passing moments in time and place.
The organic, flowing red lines in her two new series Wifery and Turn Pike contrast against background colors remembered from both the dull beige of a computer keyboard, to the color of the sky before a summer thunderstorm, evoking tension between the organic shapes and the process of fabrication of the physical painting.
A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Stefanelli has shown extensively with Pierogi gallery in New York. In 2005, she was included in Extreme Abstraction at The Albright Knox Museum, Buffalo New York.
Project Room: Jon Flack
Attracted to images of urban decay, Flack’s paintings consider the physical, cultural and spiritual manifestations of the city and its inhabitants. Using photographs and drawings from both life and recollection, Flack’s paintings combine realist portraiture with a fictional sensibility stemming from his interest in the various aesthetics of objects left to time and neglect.
Flack graduated from the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston – Salem and the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. He has exhibited at HEREArt, 31 Grand and Nest galleries in New York. This will be Flack’s first exhibition of work on the West coast.
There will be a reception for both artists May 20, 2006 from 5 –7 pm. Please contact the gallery at 310-453-3031 or info@markmooregallery.com for more information.
