CARRIE MAE SMITH PAINTINGS AT MARCH

 

 

San Francisco, CA – March 17, 2014 – MARCH is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by painter Carrie Mae Smith, featuring culinary still lifes rendered in oil on panel and vellum. The show opens March 20, 2014 and continues through May 30.

 

At once restrained and exuberant, Smith transforms compositions of comestibles, silverware, cutlery and plates into tableaus teeming with resonance and eloquence.  “Food is something we all have a relationship with,” said Carrie Mae Smith.  “My work examines and re-examines these familiar subjects,experimenting with composition, brushstrokes, light and shadow, inviting the viewer to fill in the blanks of both form and context.”

Inspired by Morandi’s simplified still lifes and Wayne Thiebaud’s iconic edibles, Smith’s fascination with food began at a young age while watching countless episodes of The French Chef and assisting her father in his butcher shop, and later developed during her time working as a chef on Martha’s Vineyard. 

This is Carrie Mae Smith’s second solo show at MARCH and the store prominently featured her work at FOG Fair.  Her work is included in major private collections.

Art Dubai 2014

Art Dubai 2014 March 19-22 Hadieh Shafie, Transition, 2014, Ink, acrylic and paper with printed and hand-written Farsi text Eshgh “Love/Passion”, 60 x 40 x 6 in / 152.4 x 101.6 x 15.2 cm Visit us at Booth A28 Madinat Jumeirah Al Sufouh Road, Umm Suqeim Exit 39 (Interchange 4) from Sheikh Zayed Road Dubai, UAE VIP Preview: Wednesday, March 19, 4-9:30 pm For Fair Hours please visit: www.artdubai.ae Leila Heller Gallery is pleased to announce its participation in the eighth edition of Art Dubai,March 19 – 22, 2014 at the Madinat Jumeirah, booth A28. The gallery will exhibit a selection of recent works by Middle Eastern and International artists: Shiva Ahmadi, Reza Aramesh, Gordon Cheung, Nir Hod, Rachel Lee Hovnanian, Farideh Lashai, Leila Pazooki and Hadieh Shafie. Among the highlights will be the new work Transition by the US-based artist Hadieh Shafie. Shafie's colorful and multidimensional works are comprised of thousands of strips of hand painted and rolled paper, each inscribed with the word eshgh (“Love/Passion”).  Transitioncombines techniques from Shafie’s Ketab and Telesm series in addition to rows of unrolled strips of paper, the inclusion of which reveals to the viewer the beginning stages of the artist’s process. The work marks a turning point in Shafie’s oeuvre, in which she explores deconstructing the elements in her work. British born Chinese artist Gordon Cheung will exhibit new works from his ongoing seriesTulipmania. Cheung's multi-media art portrays hallucinate visions that oscillate between the virtual and actual realities of our globalized world and its inevitable implosion. In Tulipmania, thickly painted technicolor tulips are placed against a background of newspaper stock listings. The series references a period in the Dutch Golden Age when contract prices for tulip bulbs reached extraordinarily high levels and then collapsed. Generally considered the first recorded economic bubble, the term “tulip mania” is now often used to refer to any large economic bubble. Berlin-based multi-media artist Leila Pazooki will present a text-based neon tube installationDemocracy. In the work, the word “democracy” is phonetically written in mirrored Persian text. Pazooki explores a technique of physically breaking the neon tubes to induce separations in the sections of colored light. This multiplicity of color references the many voices and views regarding Democracy in her homeland and region, nevertheless focusing on the physicality of the “Persianophied” term itself, it is also a reflection on the Western constrained notions of democracy which are implicitly imposed upon Eastern governments. London-based multi-disciplinary artist Reza Aramesh will present a new sculpture and recent photograph. Aramesh‘s work utilizes traditional forms of media to restage and reframe widely circulated images of conflict from print media. Through this process, he reveals intrinsic chains of globalized power and violence, simultaneously portraying and commemorating unknown nameless victims of war. The subject of Aramesh’s new sculpture is sourced from online reportage of the Algerian massacre near the Abu Dharr al-Ghifari mosque. The installation will feature a lying down figure, carved in wood, and laid on a steel plinth.  Read more Catalogue image 1: Gordon Cheung, Darkest Before Dawn, 2013, Newspaper stock listings, acrylic, inkjet, newspaper-wood on canvas, 59 x 78.7 in / 150 x 200 cm image 2: Leila Pazooki, Democracy, 2014, Neon luminous glass tubes, 55.1 in / 140 cm image 3: Reza Aramesh, Action 135: May 8, 1945. 9:03 am.  City of Setif, Algeria, 2014, Hand-carved lime-wood, glass eyes and paint, 35.8 x 11 x 5.5 in / 91 x 28 x 14 cm Press Contact:  Ally Mintz,  Ally@leilahellergallery.com Laila Jabban, Jabban@leilahellergallery.com Book Launch of Reza Aramesh: 12 Midnight Art Dubai, Booth A28 Wednesday, March 19 5:30-6 pm Reza Aramesh The Whistle of the Souls, a play that never starts Proposal for a public sculpture March 17 - April 17 Opening Reception: March 17, 5 - 8:30 pm  Al Quoz Industrial Area 3 17-A Street Warehouse 18 Dubai, UAE Press release Solo Exhibition of Reza Aramesh from the Collection of Farhard Bakhtiar Opening: March 17, 2014 Villa 28, 47C Street Jumeira 01 Dubai, UAE Map Leila Heller Gallery 568 West 25th Street New York, NY 10001 (Tel) 212 249 7695 www.leilahellergallery.com info@leilahellergallery.com
