John Adelman: Drawin - Attn
Holly Johnson Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of, Drawing:
Attn, an exhibition of new ink drawings on canvas by John Adelman. An
opening reception will be held Saturday evening, October 14th from 5:00 to 8:00
p.m. This exhibition continues through Saturday, December 23.
Drawing: Attn is Adelman’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery
and it continues to explore the material qualities of ink. Accumulative and
compulsive, his compositions are strictly defined by a series of rules that the
artist sets for himself. The works are diverse in scale, subject, and resources,
and all created in a formula driven manner. The use of gel ink and the excessive
layering of it produce rich, luxuriant surfaces transcending the utilitarian
material. With his use of unconventional materials and his meticulous method,
Adelman's work could easily be dismissed or overly simplified, if it weren't for
the understated beauty in the results.
