Simultaneity

The Walsh
Gallery at Seton Hall University presents “Simultaneity,” a traveling group
exhibition curated by artist Gabriel Phipps. 
The exhibition brings together five artists who address the subject of
abstraction within their work.  Each is influenced
by different aspects of modernist painting traditions including Cubism, Pop,
Constructivism and Russian Suprematism.  Viewed
collectively, the paintings provide a viewing experience rich in associations
and phenomena – a pool of conflicting sources and viewpoints that arise from proximity.

Participating
artists include Megan Brady, Nick Lamia, Steve McCall, Gabriel Phipps and Danielle
Tegeder.  Notes curator, Gabriel Phipps,
“peculiar and often tense combinations include objects depicted from multiple
perspectives, forms that function as windows, objects whose scale vacillates
between human-size and the infinite, and paint that describes pictorial space
while asserting itself in literal space.” 
These dichotomies address the pictorial notion of simultaneous
experience by way of shared and individual approaches to painting.  The exhibition was previously on view at
Suffolk Community College’s Flecker Gallery, Boston University’s Sherman
Gallery and the Grimshaw-Gudwicz Art Gallery at Bristol Community College.  A catalogue with essay by Joe Fyfe is
available at the Walsh Gallery.
