CATHERINE FARISH

The Firmament

On View Starting October 12, 2019

Cynthia-Reeves presents a show of new work by Canadian artist, Catherine Farish, entitled the FIRMAMENT. This will be the artist’s tenth solo show at the gallery. Farish’s new series pays homage to humanity’s unrelenting impulse to explore our cosmos, evoking the ancient history of celestial mapping coincident with the fugitive technologies of the moment. The summary of these works suggests both past and future, in an eclipsed moment of humanity’s quest to penetrate and understand deep space.

WILLARD BOEPPLE

Essay by Cynthia Reeves
Published by CYNTHIA-REEVES, 2018

25 pages + cover; includes artist statement.

“Willard Boepple is an unabashed modernist — an innovator who works within a well-defined sculptural tradition made new through his passion and his wonderful sense of surprise. Boepple’s sculptures make manifest the latent friction and release in their geometries, creating a changing symphony of negative spaces as one surveys his sculptures from different perspectives. He emphasizes economy and restraint in the judicious placement of each linear element: these works are both concise and quite light, creating beautiful dance-like structures of complexity and ease.”

DOUG TRUMP

RECENT WORK

June 30 – August 11, 2018
1315 MASS MoCA Way, North Adams, MA

Doug Trump consistently pursues a unique visual language, combining quick, gestural marks with broad swaths of paint, continuously layering and, at times, sanding back into those layers to create an archeological quality to the works. The strength of his composition is derived from an association with architectural and landscape elements, as well as the figure: clear horizontals and verticals, intentionally broken by definitive brushwork. Because the strong frameworks of these compositions are interrupted, there is always a portal through which the viewer can tease out his own narrative – a jazz-like storyline that underpins every painting.
