The article published on the website of the newspaper “New York Times” on March 1, 2013 is headlined “Skin and Earth, Suddenly Unrecognizable”. The article gives a description of a new exhibition at Castle Gallery at the College of New Rochelle. The article provides new information concerning our outlook on art, the Earth and our body. The artists, who were exhibited, portray human skin, in hues of terra cotta, rose, brown and turquoise, which alter skin so much that it is no longer recognizable, what the paintings ultimately reveal is something known intimately to everyone.
As Katrina Rhein said, all works resemble something familiar to everybody when you are seeing are these strange places on sculpture, drawings, paintings and a mixed-media pieces. As for the sculptures of Laura Moriarty, an artist in Rosendale, N.Y., they are full of colorful encaustics, which have a geological feel. Her sculptures made of pigmented beeswax.
According to the text, there is a show-room named “The Expansive Force of Water Freezing in Cracks” in which people can see pools of swirling, bleeding color are stacked to form what looks like a 3-D version of the earth’s strata in a textbook diagram crossed with a crumbling or otherwise askew pastry shop confection.
The author, Tammy La Gorce, gives us the information about a small room within Castle Gallery called the “feature gallery” is dedicated exclusively to Ms. Moriarty and “Still Time”. The installation she created gathers 50 similar encaustics of various sizes and six paper sculptures. Ms. Moriarty says that the process of creation of a new work always involves studying cross sections, often of plate tectonics, in geology books. She wants to make people pay attention to the World around them and not treat it as it is separate from them. She stresses that we have an effect on the processes of the earth, that are really big and really hard to harness.
Further the author reports that a series of 24 gouache-on-paper panels of Gina Occhiogrosso also can attract our attention. Her piece “Slump” takes weather-ravaged billboards as its subject. The Works are represented in their twisted, dilapidated and broken forms against stark white backgrounds on each panel. The artist admits that her works are weird and that’s why they have no commercial interest and it is hard to sell them.
As for me, I don’t understand such kind of Art. It is too ambiguous, strange and not pleasant for perception. Maybe if I visited this exhibition I would change my mind, but I doubt.
