Bakehouse Art Complex presents Bedrock

Thursday, June 28th from 7-10pm join us at the Bakehouse Art Complex for the Opening Reception of Bedrock in the Swenson Gallery, featuring paintings by Jason Aponte and Nicole Maynard-Sahar. This exhibition takes the work of two painters with different levels of abstraction and puts them side by side. Nicole Maynard-Sahar chooses to stop painting at a place that’s less explicit as Jason Aponte, while Aponte plays with the way forms dissipate. How do these considerations affect the way viewers perceive their concepts?

In addition to their individual paintings, digital prints showing close-ups of each artist’s work will be on display, challenging viewers to identify whose brushstrokes are whose. The investigation is extended in a collaborative triptych that combines the two artists’ vision. The foundation or “bedrock” of the artists’ work is a shared belief in the powerful process of making and viewing paintings. This exhibition is on view through July 13, 2018.
