Springsteen is pleased to present Ripple, a
solo exhibition by John Bohl. Ripple presents a series of new paintings
offering a meditated take on memory and its ability to both restructure and reify our senses. Bohl uses hand and machine augmented processes to sample and revisit familiar imagery layered into hyper-stylized
pictorial fragments deployed with surgical precision. These elusive images conflate the imagined and memorable with
their disarming simplicity and assurance. They remind us of sought after images mashed with competing advertising,
the textual blur of digital feeds, and that surreal questioning if an experience was IRL or just ingested elsewhere. The
ambiguity of these newly encrypted images grant us space to interpret and embrace their dysfunction and imperfection.
The resulting amalgamations of images and forms are eerily off, weaving together petrified space and time and calling
into question our perceptive acumen and visual dexterity.
