Beyond Paint
The show's proposition is direct: painting is not the only way to make a mark, and the most serious work being made in studios right now is frequently happening outside the conventions of painting as a medium. Elizabeth Hilton's large-format layered surfaces, Andy McConnell's carved cedar constructions, Tamera Abaté's thirty-layer encaustic panels.
These are practices where the material is the subject — where what the work is made of is inseparable from what the work is about. Wax holds differently than oil. Cedar carries different weight than canvas. The work cannot be made in another material without becoming a different work. Beyond Paint is an argument for the seriousness of material investigation as a primary artistic mode.
