Fall 2009

Gwynn Murrill – Early Wood Sculpture – Known for her sleek & minimalist portraits of animals this exhibit features her early works sculpted from found wood. Gwynn is drawn to animal forms due to their complex beauty. She says: “My interest lies in the fact that I use the subject as a means to create form that is abstract and figurative at the same time. It is a challenge to try and take the form that nature makes so well and to derive my own interpretation of it.” Click here for details.

Artist Statement
My painting has always been concerned with the possibilities particular to painting. Issues of plastic form, flat shape, pictorial vs. illusionistic space, and the actual space of the object itself. Lately through my use of color and paint application I’ve attempted to infuse my paintings with a sense of lightness, or weightlessness, while also working toward a spontaneity in overall effect. I see this spontaneity and weightlessness as the antithesis of most formal abstraction (or painting in general) where denial of hand, increasingly elaborate supports, and an airless seriousness seem to be the defining norm. Making something that looks like it was made by a machine has never been interesting to me. The quest for industrial perfection in fabrication, and the fetishizing of technology for its own sake, smells like the same old modernist utopianism. Art should never be about refining the product to a salable easily defined model, similar to the last, but not all that different from the first. My method relies on the spaces between resolution and surprise; the unexpected connection, and the freedom to contradict myself.

CANDACE MAMMARELLA

installation title:

‘experience b’

an installation of five [5], 4.5’x11’ drawings

medium: *Sharpie* oil paint marker on clear vinyl

2007-2008,

Intimacy involves the risk of violation. When one chances vulnerability with another, a particular sort of violence is expected, almost invited and definitely inevitable . . . yet the risk is not less when the other is one’s own self.

The images before you are visually specific yet affectively vast. They are not meant to read as narratives but more as requests for a physical relationship with you, the viewer/participant. The five pieces together are a gestalt of an ongoing experience.

bio

CJ Mammarella has exhibited her work in Los Angeles and San Francisco. She received her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute [2008], a BFA with honors in illustration from Art Center College of Design [1992] and BA’s in both painting and english/writing from the University of California, Davis [1989]. Through drawing, she creates visceral, sensual landscapes that address the viewer intimately touching on their vulnerability, judgments and tolerances. Presently, CJ splits her time living and working in both San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Artist Statement

By utilizing abstracted imagery that remains open and slightly ambiguous, I seek to bypass or delay immediate categorization through language structures. Through the centralization of negation and reinterpretation, repainting and redrawing, and a sense of internalized place, I seek to sustain an associative dialogue within the work that enables me to find a space that embodies layers of internal/external, invented/ real, and microcosm/macrocosm. Interest to me as of recent is the investigation of an ambiguous, constructed, and animated landscape that is perhaps created by something other than nature and difficult to place within the every day. The interest to me is the confrontation of something outside of one’s normal experience and the possibility of multiple reactions within the center as well as the periphery of this experience.

I have been working with a symbol system that I feel is universal, but also highly personal. Ambiguity is important within the work, as I find this symbol system to be fluid and I feel that the work takes on different references for different people. I seek to inject subtexts through formal elements such as pressure, asymmetric balance and lack of “finish”.
