Release:
The Hogar Collection and Eyewash art are pleased to present
a two-person exhibition of new abstract art by Peter Fox
and Jeanne Tremel. This exhibition brings together two non-objective
artists who rely on the accident or serendipity in the process
of picture making. But there the relationship shifts into
completely different visual directions in their respective
bodies of work.
Peter Fox loves stripes and in his ongoing "process"
series allows flowing paint to produce stripes along with
whorls & eddies with gravity as the animator of a sinous
internal logic. What is often on display with Fox's paintings
is a playfulness that gives us a rich, poppy palette and
paint that sometimes resembles drips of taffy candy. His
works offer a different kind of accesibility than many artists
of the abstract vocabulary. These are paintings that begged
to be viewed again and again.
Jeanne Tremel works in a variety of media but in this exhibition
she presents an ongoing series of works on paper. Her process
is more of a balancing act, making a place where quirky
accidents co-exist with oddball structures. Her compositions
serve to contain contrasting notions such as; randomnes
and control, 'tangles' and patterned structure, calmness
and struggle, awkwardness and elegance, and more possibilities
in metaphor.
Eyewash is a migratory gallery based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn,
founded in 1998 by Larry Walczak. Eyewash collaborates with
other galleries, non-art spaces and public venues to produce
exhibitions, installations and events of new emerging visual
