Collective Body
Thierry Goldberg is pleased to present Collective Body, a group exhibition of works by Lorenzo Amos, Cailyn Dawson, Mark Hernandez, and Raya Terran. The exhibition opens on November 30th, with a reception from 6-8pm, and will run through January 6th, 2024.
In a captivating dialogue on identity, collectivity, and subject-hood, Collective Body brings together four artists whose work explore new conceptions of human nature. This body of work, composed of four disparate approaches to mark-making, presents nuanced depictions of experience and physicality that reveal a varied, contemporary panorama of portraiture.
Lorenzo Amos constructs paintings that skillfully combine a rough and irreverent expressionism with a sharply emotional realism. His four works in this exhibition transform quotidian moments of existence into fervent investigations of being. His compositions are grounded in a charged dissonance that oscillates between detail and abstraction. This duality battles across the virtual space of the canvases to reveal an elucidated vision of existence.
Exploring the reverberations of space and time on the body, Cailyn Dawson's self portraits document her own ever-changing personhood. She refuses the notion of a flattened human essence, instead using each work as an archeological site to excavate her own psyche. In smooth brushstrokes and muted tones, Dawson deftly reintroduces herself to the viewer in these temporal snapshots of identity.
Mark Hernandez explores the relationship between the individual and community through his exquisitely saturated and stylized paintings. Each figure poses amongst objects of historical and cultural significance, carefully constructing an identity through their surroundings. These works cogently require contemplation and dissection, laying bare a communal and experiential understanding of his subjects.
Raya Terran pushes viewers into landscapes of uncanny naturalism. Across every canvas, uncoordinated naked bodies stretch, climb, hug, stumble, and roam. Fleshy and foreign, these paintings envision the human as an unfettered, instinctual creature. She expertly unchains her subjects from the burden of modernity in a novel, almost disturbing, declaration of raw humanism.
