@ Twelve Ten Gallery
1210 West Thorndale Ave. Chicago, IL 60660
Opening Friday, April 25th, from 6PM - 8PM
On view through Saturday, May 24th
Twelve Ten Gallery invites you to a conversation with artist Trey Rozell on the occasion of his first solo exhibition with the gallery. His exhibition “As above, so below” presents a unique durational installation of painted canvases whose terms are constantly exchanged, emphasizing the semiotic, performative and sculptural dimensions of painting and its versatility as a medium still at play.
Trey Rozell (b. 1996) is an artist from the American South who is currently living and working out of Chicago, IL. His practice is firmly rooted in painting, but extends into sculpture, performance, installation, and animation. His work is made considering the perpetuated structures embedded within the history of painting, Trey utilizes absurdity, repetition, and gamesmanship as a means of inquiry into these age-old subjects with the hope to observe how the rhetoric of painting continues to survive and evolve today. Trey has had work exhibited at Twelve Ten Gallery (Chicago, IL), The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center (Atlanta, GA), The End Project Space (Atlanta, GA), Ruschman (Chicago, IL), The Ionian Center for the Arts and Culture (Kefalonia, GD) and recently received his MFA in painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
