Unleashing the Power of Abstraction and Materiality

Exploring the Depths of the Creative Mind

The artists featured in this exhibition have each developed a unique and captivating visual language, utilizing a wide range of materials and techniques to explore themes of memory, personal histories, nature, and geographic locations. Through an intuitive, process-based approach, they have crafted a diverse collection of works that celebrate the beauty of color, form, and materiality.Hyun Jung Ahn, a multidisciplinary artist from Seoul, South Korea, delves into the realm of the subconscious, translating her visual diary of feelings, personal connections, and emotional states into minimalistic drawings, paintings, and sculptures. Her enigmatic abstract forms, which she refers to as "shapes of mind," invite the viewer to embark on a journey of self-discovery.Tegan Brozyna Roberts, a native of Philadelphia, offers a captivating exploration of her surroundings through her collages. By suspending painted pieces of paper in tightened thread, she creates a visual representation of her mission to find peace and balance in the world, drawing inspiration from her family's history in textiles.

Mastering the Interplay of Color, Light, and Texture

The works of Seville-born artist Fernando Daza are brilliant explorations of the dynamic interplay between color, light, and texture. Daza's medium of choice is monochromatic paper, which he tears by hand and layers onto canvases of varying shapes and sizes. Many of his pieces are diptychs, showcasing a captivating contrast between the colors and compositions of the two canvases.Jessica Drenk, on the other hand, subverts our notion of functional everyday materials, using simple objects such as pencils and books to create free-standing or wall-mounted sculptures that draw inspiration from the natural and cultural worlds. Her work invites the viewer to reconsider the inherent beauty and potential of these everyday items.

Rhythm, Movement, and the Illusion of Depth

Harry Markusse, a successful artist from Amsterdam, brings his unique perspective to the exhibition. Inspired by the repetitive and mathematical character of rhythms, sequences, and cadences often found in graffiti, Markusse's formal language appears austere and controlled, yet his compositions arise spontaneously, suggesting an infinite movement and a captivating trompe-l'oeil effect of perspective and depth on a flat surface.Nadia Yaron, born in São Paulo, Brazil, and raised in New York, began her artistic career as a furniture maker before expanding her creative practice to include objects and sculptures. Working instinctually with salvaged wood and stone, Yaron's work evokes the ephemerality of nature and our relationship with it, often incorporating anthropomorphic elements and cloud-like shapes that bring to mind layers in a landscape.

Exploring the Essence of Life and Nature

Dakyo Oh, a Korean artist who majored in Plastic Arts at Paris 1 University Pantheon-Sorbonne and completed an MFA in Oriental Painting at Seoul National University, focuses on the elements and energies gathered from nature, such as soil and sand. Her paintings, a mixture of earth, sand, and glue, embody the solidity of earth dust and the birth and mystery of life.Matt Shlian, an American artist trained in ceramics, has developed an original language at the crossroads of art and science. Fascinated by digital printing and paper, Shlian collaborates with researchers from the University of Michigan to explore the potential of paper structures to illustrate scientific concepts, such as cell division and the development of solar cells. His intricate paper sculptures are the result of a meticulous process that combines accurate planning and measurement with the spontaneity of arbitrary incidents.

Capturing the Essence of Photographic Imagery

Thomas Witte, an American artist, has made the stencil the primary focus of his work, concentrating on the cutting process to rework old photographs on paper, as well as some more recent ones taken by himself. Witte's works reach an incredible level of detail, reproducing shapes, textures, brightness, lights, and shadows, as well as a marked sense of depth, using only cuts and incisions on heavy paper.Heather Gaudio Fine Art's commitment to showcasing diverse and exceptional talent is evident in this captivating Summer Show. The gallery's roster of artists, hailing from various cultural and geographic backgrounds, come together to present a visually stunning and intellectually engaging exhibition that celebrates the power of abstraction, materiality, and the exploration of the human experience.
