The Fort Point Arts Community Gallery is pleased to announce the second exhibition for the 2014/15 season, Chora, featuring the work of Ariel Freiberg and Filiz Emma Soyak.
The show was juried by Andrew Witkin, Gallery Director of Barbara Krakow Gallery.Freiberg and Soyak re-imagine and visualize what is found between the seen and the peripheral.
Dingy corners and scraps of images are excavated for their potential.
By layering multiple languages and processes, these non-structured visual moments- otherwise forgotten- are presented to the viewer.
Freiberg is deeply curious about the impact of isolating passages of faces, derived from images from history or mass media, and pairing with a sensory plain.
Employed by “urban trickery” or trompe l’oeil, the passages of the faces look like ripped paper.
Ironically, this is the grounding element in the painting.
The substrate space of the canvas may be a stark contrast to the delicately painted face.
The open space of the painting are stained and aggressively treated, as to reference earthiness, tomalley and decay.
The ambiguity between the edges of ripped faces and the bedrock ground are reminders of the uncertainties of our physical world.
