David X. Levine's vivid, labor-intensive colored pencil drawings range in size from the intimate to the monumental (10” to 10’). Mixing popular and high culture, Levine creates a formal vocabulary that inhabits lushly optical spaces, generating rich and subtle associations. His work is often characterized by a playful humor, tempered with a profound seriousness.
Nicholaus Jamieson is an artist based in New York City since 2009. Employing a serial process, Jamieson composes, masks, samples, and resamples color chalk lines on paper. Working both large and small, the inclusion of various mixed media within his vibrating color fields distills a calculated abstract language. Throughout, the combination of mechanics and gesture inherently challenge a viewer's perception of a handmade creation.
