Solo: GERMAN PITRE • Contra Disambiguation
“Pitre’s paintings challenge the perception of a secure existence. We become witness to the tragedy which befalls the plush loved talismans of childhood. Their innocence is not only ripped apart violently, but then quagmired in the moment of now as they are forever religated to the synthetic tar pit of their disgarded entrapment. The sardonic and visceral are a fervent determination to scrutinize the reality of truths and justice.”
2. Group: BOSON EXOTIC
“As protean transporters of invisible force, “Boson Exotic” artworks radiate phenomenological complexity. Each work becomes a saturated moment. The often arcane beauty of the exotic here trumps the arid, banal one liners prevailing in much current contemporary art.
The elusive boson particles are theoretically poised for unveiling in the largest machine ever constructed. Likewise the hard to pin down work in this exhibition, beckons discovery within a 20,000 sq ft phenomenon. In fact, acceleration of assertion posits Newark in a new art vangard.”
