The paintings of artist Jim Gaylord push the boundaries of identified space and the ambiguity of object relation. Referencing elements of traditional surrealism, Gaylord updates his method of creation by distilling information from film stills. Using several layers of transparent film, the artist is able to render specific elements in the found image that reduces the still down to spatial planes, shadows and general landscape and architectural structures. The process works as a visual filter, allowing Gaylord the opportunity to shift the story of the film, still offering even greater narrative possibilities and meaning. Gaylord received his degree in film from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and his MFA from the University of California at Berkeley. He has received both a Joan Mitchell Foundation grant and the Eisner Award in Art Practice from UC Berkeley. Recent solo and two person exhibitions include “I Thought You Were Waving at Me” with the Gregory Lind Gallery in San Francisco and “Jim Gaylord & Eric Hongisto” at the PS 122 Gallery in New York.

Hammer-und-Gogel-1-9-07.jpg

German artists Paule Hammer and Sebastian Gogel have been collaborating on large sculpture and spatial installations since 2005. These artists together form the group Hammer and Gogel and often present work as “Hagel.” The artists stand in contrast with most of the other young painters of the Leipzig Academy of Visual Art of which both are graduates (2002). The artists instead depart from painting on a two-dimensional surface for more spatially painted sculptures and installations. The two just closed an exhibition titled “Hagel” in December with Los Angeles gallery Chung King Project. This exhibition continues to reference pop culture, kitsch and horror in seemingly playful and absurd ways. In 2005, the artists exhibited “Gmortox” at Galerie Adler, Frankfurt and “Hyperhyper” at Wohnmaschine Gallery, Berlin. Each artist has exhibited individually with Galerie Post in Leipzig and numerous other group shows worldwide. Both artists continue to live and work in Leipzig, Germany.
