Ricco/Maresca
529 W 20th St Hester Simpson Gossip (2006) |
The exhibition encompasses the works of various artists, many of whom have lived dual lives, whether consecutively, as in the case of Morton Bartlett, whose career in advertising design lead to what became his art transposed, or simultaneously, as with Henry Darger, who came home every night and put to paper a fantasy world of illustrated stories, and Christopher Adams, Dermatologist by day and creator of incredible, flora and fauna-like porcelain sculptures by night. Hester Simpson’s intricate, vibrant circle paintings echo the meticulous layering of material in Judith Scott’s wound fiber sculptures, and relate even more directly to the canvas Game Scroll which dates from 1920s, but has so easily become contemporary in its graphic design. Also included are objects such as a Coney Island Shooting Gallery Target and Crawling Baby Trade Figure which were once functional, but are now considered objects of art in their own right.
Ricco/Maresca encourages freedom from convention by allowing intuition and innovation to speak through the work of the artists featured in Salon Dialogue, whether living or dead, known or unknown, traditionally thought of or approached with larger scope of vision.
