Carol Adelman At Form/Space Atelier August 9-October 5, 2013



Form/Space Atelier Program For August-September 2013
Exhibit Title: Anticipated Exhibit Duration: August 9-October 5, 2013 Vernissage: August 9, 6PM "Anticipated" is Carol Adelman's first solo exhibit at Form/Space Atelier. Mysterious renderings of the figure, once-removed using dolls as artists models, or fast-forwarded to intense scrutiny through self portraiture, Adelman layers impasto and light deftly, breathlessly, honestly. "Structured after landmarks of art history, these paintings were developed from life, imagination and memory using objects, and symbols of gender that are as disturbing as they are irresistable to me. In portrait and allegory, I pursue the embodiment of the subject in paint. The impossibility of constructing an image with materials that are constantly in motion has become a metaphor in my work for the construction of identity from fragments on relentlessly shifting ground. My work takes place on a ragged interface between abstraction and representation. I paint towards a melding of observation, memory, and imagination that mediates between visual culture and lived experience of the flesh. The gathering of the image in the slipping liquid of paint humbles me just as it holds me transfixed. It falls apart even as it accumulates–a persistently building and crumbling illusion Although insidiously elusive and ultimately unknowable, the embodiment of the subject remains urgently seductive and potently irresistible. I cannot help but pursue it."- Carol Mallet Adelman ARTIST C. V.
