Configured Landscapes
LAUNCH Gallery presents Configured Landscapes, a diverse group of artists who look at the landscape in new, often surreal, ways. All of the artists in this exhibition re-shape the landscape in terms of color, shape and scale. Many of them also insert figures into their non-natural environments. As they do so, they invite viewers to re-consider both humans and their surroundings in caring and environmentally aware ways.
Deena Capparelli calls her paintings "pseudo-imaginary" landscapes. She juxtaposes "wild" plants with scenes of carefully manicured gardens to expose the malleability as well as the vulnerability of the plants in our natural environments. She also contrasts tightly limned realism with expressive abstraction to foreground the visual languages she employs.
Patsy Cox creates hundreds of small ceramic forms then assembles them into remarkable installations that refer to the dense, tight spread of urban spaces. Her current series incorporates human body parts--specifically mouths, teeth and tongues--to highlight the silent presence of people in places.
