Andy Moses 2016

ANDY MOSES Implementing boundary-pushing techniques that he’s been practicing for the past 30 years, Andy Moses creates paintings that blur the line between pure abstraction and a new kind of pictorialism.

These aren’t representational images, yet there are undeniable traces of natural phenomena in Moses’s paintings. He seeks not to replicate imagery from the natural world, but to mimic nature itself. His complex process of altering, mixing and pouring paints is informed by the physical behavior and interaction of his medium with the forces of nature.

Moses’s sweeping, luminous surfaces are executed with an almost impossible precision - a precision that is simultaneously organic and fluid. His meandering lines of psychedelic chroma oscillate between near digital sharpness and dissolving washes of color. In these works, Moses has managed to achieve a unity of line and color that has an extraordinary presence.

Born in Los Angeles in 1962, Andy Moses attended California Institute of the Arts from 1979 to 1982. At CalArts, he focused on performance, film, and painting, studying with Michael Asher, John Baldessari, Douglas Huebler and Barbara SURFACE ANDheLIGHT Kruger. In 1982, moved to New York, where he developed a new kind of process painting that Santa Monica, CA - The William Turner Gallery is pleased to announce our upcoming solo exhibition, is simultaneously abstract and representational.

Jimi Gleason : Surface and Light. Jimi Gleason’s paintings are enigmatic. They emphasize seductive As an artist, Moses is interested in pushing the surfaces, which reveal no trace of traditional paint application. These mysterious surfaces are physical properties of paint through chemical highly reactive to light, position and viewer - acting as catalysts for shifting perceptions. They are reactions, viscosity interference, and gravity to immediately understandable as paintings, though it’s difficult to imagine how they were created. create elaborate compositions that mimic nature Through the use of non-traditional materials and luminescent silver deposit, Gleason creates works and its forces. that inspire an intimate reflection on the essence of how we perceive and experience the world around us.

Andy Moses lives and works in Venice, CA. His paintings are included in a number of prominent Gleason’s most recent body of work is consistent with the iridescent paintings he has developed public and private collections including the over the last decade, but marks a radical departure in execution. Using a silver-deposit surface Laguna Art Museum and the Fredrick R Weisman coat, Gleason creates paintings that are ethereal and glassy - sheets of solid vapor that respond Foundation. and react to the play of light and their environment. These newest paintings are saturated with brilliant colors - bright coppers, rich ceruleans and glowing golds - adding more depth to the already lustrous surfaces, which seem to emanate light from within.

Uniting hard-edge geometric forms with his sensuously luminous surfaces, Gleason boldly breaks up the picture plane into alternating fields of texture. The effect is a hypnotic and prismatic visual structure, where light, color and form intersect in ever-changing play. These dynamic surfaces engage the viewer and urge them to explore the infinite experiential possibilities of art.

Born in Newport Beach, CA, Gleason received his BA from UC Berkeley in 1985. He studied printmaking at the San Francisco Art Institute before relocating to New York City, where he worked as a photo assistant and photo technician. Returning to California, Gleason was employed in the studio of Ed Moses for five years. Combining the disparate technical and compositional skills developed during his exposure to printmaking, photography and mixed-media painting, Gleason is now the subject of considerable curatorial and critical applause. His work is exhibited in significant public institutions, including the Armand Hammer Museum, the Long Beach Museum of Art, the Seattle Art Museum, the Tucson Museum of Art and the Frederick R. Weisman Foundation. The artist’s paintings are actively collected by a growing number of major public and private collections around the world.
