TOTALED, Gabriel Hartley’s second solo exhibition at Foxy Production, comprises oil and spray-painted canvases of varying sizes hung in a grid pattern, resin and paper sculptures across the gallery floor, and a roomful of scan prints.

The works’ titles, including Bald, Braid, Spritz, Tie, and Varicose, refer to cosmetic procedures and beauty products. They allude to the artist’s use of spray-paint as both a concealer and an enhancer. While helping mask and flatten blemishes, scrapes, and marks in the surfaces of the paintings and sculptures, the spray-paint at the same time highlights these features.

The different media in the exhibition play off one another; divisions among works at times blur. They share color, shape, perspective, and texture, yet within each work a whole string of other references emerge: from the bodily – noses, lips, breasts, figures, and eyes – to the art historical – Klee, Picabia, and Feautrier, among others.
