In Dreams

8 Sep-2 Oct 2010

Overview

Timothy Taylor Gallery is delighted to present In Dreams, a group exhibition featuring works on paper by artists including Armen Eloyan, Volker Hueller, Norbert Schwontkowski, Kiki Smith and Rose Wylie. From idiosyncratic figurative narratives to more fragmented and abstracted compositions, the works in this exhibition are linked by their maker’s desire to construct hermetic alternative worlds. In ways similar to the logic experienced when dreaming, these artist’s drawn fictions give rise to impossible or incongruous episodes that nevertheless appear convincing when considered within their given context. The lone figures that occupy several of the compositions featured in this exhibition bear testimony to a solipsist tendency in many studio practices. Here a total emersion in medium and process leaves only enough room for a projected equivalent of the maker.
