Dean Byington/Lawrence Jordan February 12 - March 8, 2023 Dean Byington Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Dean Byington. A catalog, which includes an essay by John Yau, will be published for this show, the artist's third at Gallery Paule Anglim. Dean Byington will show new paintings on stretched canvas accompanied by some very detailed paper collages, all depicting dream-like landscapes made up of thousands of fine graphic lines. Where earlier works incorporated photographic techniques and emulsion, Byington's new paintings are all oil on canvas, mostly black against a ground of white, in some instances he infuses slight washes of color. The artist paints and transfers paint through delicate silkscreens, creating a fragile matrix of lines confounding depth and flatness. More of Byington's new work will be presented at The San Jose Institute of Contemporary Arts opening February 7th and at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in July of this year. A reception for the artist will be held Wednesday, February 12th from 5:30- 7:30 p.m. at Gallery Paule Anglim. Catalog available. Lawrence Jordan Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of works by Lawrence Jordan. Lawrence Jordan will show box sculptures created over the last five years. These are colorful assemblage constructions, which bring together found objects, cut paper and an implied sense of a story. They suggest deeper space (than their real depth of 5 inches or so), movement and the revelation of a cosmic secret. Some actually move and one has real sound, music by Eric Satie. Jordan describes all of his work, whether his shadow boxes, framed collages or films, as collage. He has worked with collage for over forty years, beginning with ten years of special study with Joseph Cornell. He has participated in exhibitions and film festivals around the world, most notably at New York's MoMA, the Pompidou Center in Paris, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Chicago Art Institute, the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Walker Art Center. Lawrence Jordan is a professor at the San Francisco Art Institute where he has taught since 1969. He has received numerous distinguished grants and film awards and was featured in the recent traveling exhibition, Beat Culture and the New America. A reception for the artist will be held Wednesday, February 12th from 5:30- 7:30 p.m. at Gallery Paule Anglim.
