Gary Baseman: "Walking Through Walls"
Artist Gary Baseman has a show opening up at Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York City this weekend. In this post, a preview of some of the works featured in the exhibition, and a statement by the artist. In "Walking through Walls," Baseman explores the concept of breaking through imposed limitations and boundaries, in art and life. Over 40 artworks address the notions of truth and death, the influences of childhood, memory, and identity. Compared to his past bright and frolicsome painting series, this exhibition of new art has a darker expressive palette. Baseman loosens up his painting style and also experiments with silkscreen and photography. Inspiration for Baseman comes from all directions: his personal collection of vintage photographs of people in masks and costumes; Jewish folktales; and the loss of his father. As Baseman states, "'Walking through Walls' personally allows me to bring together the objective truths of childhood with the subjective beliefs of adulthood, while facing the absolutes of mortality." Opening reception: Saturday, March 5, 6-8pm; Jonathan LeVine Gallery, 529 West 20th Street, 9E, NYC 10011. The show closes April 2, 2011. (portrait of the artist by Sean Bonner)...
