Paradigms (Prints, Drawing, Sculpture)
Jackie Ferrara, Martin Puryear, Diane Simpson, Terry Winters, Lee Bontecou
Jackie Ferrara, Diane Simpson, Martin Puryear, Lee Bontecou, and Terry Winters, though part of distinct generations, share a common thread in their exploration of form and architecture within their artistic practices. Ferrara’s minimalist sculptures, often composed of stacked geometric forms, engage with architectural principles of mass and volume. Simpson’s meticulously crafted garments and sculptures reference historical dress and architecture, transforming everyday objects into formal investigations. Puryear’s sculptures, rooted in carpentry and woodworking, often evoke architectural elements like columns and beams, while Bontecou’s abstract, biomorphic paintings and sculptures reference both organic and industrial forms. Winters’s paintings, drawing upon abstract forms inspired by nature, create a sense of depth and space. Together, these artists demonstrate the diverse ways in which architecture and form can be interpreted and reimagined within contemporary art.
Hinwood’s paintings depict romantic, often spiritual depictions of nature, imbuing ordinary scenes with a sense of wonder and mystery. His ideas become almost a symbolic representation of reality using natural forms that create their own unique rhythm. Clouds become designs, the sun or moon become motifs, in scenic, small scale paintings that embody an earthy palette and a golden-hour glow. Hinwood’s paintings can bring to mind the distilled essence of Forrest Bess (another small-scale spiritual painter) or the energy of Charles Birchfield (one of the artist’s influences) who painted landscapes teeming with a vibrating energy. Similarly, Hinwood’s paintings convey a deep emotional connection to the natural world, reflecting his keen observation of light, color, and the changing seasons.
