Last year I pitched an exhibition idea to Fountain House Gallery team in New York, and was thrilled to be chosen to curate an exhibition of some of their artists detailed works, alongside planning a number of related events to allow the artists voice to be heard.
Welcome to ‘Meticulous Markings’, where a riot of color sits comfortably alongside intricate designs, figurative abstraction, densely layered fabrics, and handmade dolls. Curated by Jennifer Gilbert of Jennifer Lauren Gallery, Manchester (UK), ‘Meticulous Markings’ features eight artists whose work includes exceptional detail and the exquisite skill to communicate thoughts and feelings without words. We encourage you to take a moment to pause, and reflect on the artworks and stories shared.
Kelly Han draws on symbolism and spiritual art from her ancestry, using geometric patterns; whilst Alyson Vega creates colorful work using a wide variety of found materials and threads, reflecting the beauty and order she perceives in the natural world. Nicolaus Myers’ work in acrylic and oil depicts the rough edges of life featuring people in crisis with characters displaying angst and worry, whereas Roger Jones’s urban cityscapes are bright, colorful, and brimming with the faces of countless people. Susan Spangenberg’s dolls are linked by a common thread, that being mental illness and its associated traumas which Susan herself identifies with. Finally, Kelila Zechowy, Michael Kronenberg and Annie Poon create exquisite patterns in colorful, bold abstract styles. Karen depicts hope and anticipation, Michael focuses on the intersection between dreams, myths and archetypes, and Annie lays down dots on small paper, each piece she believes has its own ‘unique logic’, focusing on individuality.
