Upcoming Exhibition
Kevin Baker, Tom Costa & Austin Eddy
Opening Reception Friday, July 2, 2010
6 - 9 PM
Tom Costa
Bits of siding, brick, and glass hang from teetering structures in Tom Costa’s expertly rendered paintings of ruined houses. He portrays only facades, as if to say that there was never more than appearance, like a wild west movie set.
Kevin Baker
The paintings of Kevin Baker swim with a highly ornamented mixture of kitsch and refinement. Baker works on oilcloth, the kind you might have used over a picnic table in the park last weekend. The oilcloth is left bare on the sides of the stretchers, allowing the viewer to see the original imagery or pattern and find its traces in the final painting.
Austin Eddy
With the high spirits and prolific outpouring of youth, Austin Eddy assembles antic interiors buzzing with saturated, high-key color and giddy mark-making. These paintings are packed to the gills with pattern and ornament.
