Description
Gregory Lind Gallery is pleased to present Jim Gaylord’s new exhibition, Cliffhanger. The show will include works in oil on linen, gouache on paper, multi-layered gouaches on paper and acetate, and a lithograph. Gaylord’s work is a continuation of his interest in cultivating found, abstract images from special effects and action sequences in motion pictures. Unlike the process of abstracting realistic forms into reductive shapes, these phenomena are naturally occurring, split-second artifacts of collisions, explosions, and other distortions, taking place at rapid speeds. Building on his past work as a filmmaker, Gaylord looks at the continuum between painting as a historical medium and the spectacular visuals we absorb through contemporary entertainment. Further, the work connects the euphoria of witnessing these images with the disorientation of seeing something we cannot easily identify.
