Unsayable: Recent Work by Heidi Pollard
Dibden Center for the Arts at Johnson State College,
Johnson, VT. Through May 30, 2010
In Heidi Pollard's exhibition, lively jewel-toned paintings combine geometric clarity and painterly texture. The artist references one of her heroes, Frederick Hammersley, and his whimsical paintings in Hammersley's Duck. The painting is roughly bisected by a field of aqua blue on the left and crimson red on the right. An opaque stroke of black sits wetly on the red section, visually connecting with the blue section, where a knot-like black pattern overlays a sheer gold pattern. Pollard builds tension and lush layers with color and composition.
Working almost exclusively in oil, Pollard allows her pieces to dry between layers; thus, they mature before exhibition. Her patience has its corollary in each painting's slow unfolding before the viewer. Wheel attracts immediately with a cartoonish, gear-like shape in the foreground. It is typical of a group of her paintings that combine brushy, abstract strokes with concrete shapes that sit on top of the painting's surface, while swishing brushstrokes and layers of paint swirl beneath. These works captivate the eye, then go on to satisfy intellectually and emotionally with their energetic handling and depth.
Pollard's works on paper have a special presence in this exhibition, combining her visual vocabulary of brush strokes and geometric fields with her affection for the particular surface and texture of paper. In Two Keys, Pollard painted thin washes of oil paint on unprepped paper. The result is a velvety surface texture, alive with concentrated pigment that simultaneously floats forward and soaks back into the paper. Pollard's sinewy paint strokes hold the composition in balance, creating a kind of dance in creamy whites and mossy greens.
Overall, Pollard's works are a study in aesthetic paradox. Her heroes are the hard-edge painters of the 1960's, yet her art glows with a new formalist warmth. These works are layered yet flat, simultaneously textured and spare. They explore the color, geometry, and motion of painters that came before, but with originality, subtlety, and affection. These paintings are not "about" something else; they are a unique voice transmitted through paint. Clear aesthetic purpose and visual rhythm echo across Pollard's surfaces; her bright colors and bold strokes enliven the corridors of the mind, where thought and visions mingle.

McKenzie Fine Art, New York
Horror Vacui
Group Exhibition
June 12 - August 1, 2008
McKenzie Fine Art is pleased to announce its summer group exhibition, "Horror Vacui," featuring works on paper by the following artists: David Ambrose, Astrid Bowlby, Jacob El Hanani, Lori Ellison, Lee Etheredge IV, Adam Fowler, Kevin Hart, David Kinast, Maureen McQuillan, James Nelson, Aric Obrosey, Heidi Pollard, Emily Stern, Philip Taaffe, Barbara Takenaga, Don Voisine, Sarah Walker, Andrea Way, and Laura Sharp Wilson. The exhibition will open on Thursday, June 12th with a reception for the artists from 6 to 8 p.m. and run through Friday, August 1, 2008.
Does nature really abhor a vacuum? Scientifically, this Aristotelian theory regarding the "fear of open space" was disproved centuries ago. But for artists, the desire to create work where all (or nearly all) the space is filled stems from a number of motivations. Largely eschewing figure/ground relationships and employing an "allover" compositional format, the works in the exhibition embrace a visual denial of open space and celebrate complexity and obsessive execution through dense mark making or intricate patterning and ornamentation. The works express a range of emotions, from a joyful generosity of spirit to an almost paranoiac claustrophobia. While denying open space can be interpreted as the denial of the unknown, or the mitigation of the fear of death, it is also a stance against minimalist reduction and an embrace of richness and complexity. Ironically, in the obsessive creation of some of these works, a Zen-like state of mind can be achieved.
Works in the exhibition range from Philip Taaffe's exuberant and playful ornamental field to Barbara Takenaga's and Sarah Walker's densely patterned, colorful drawings suggesting the cosmos. Lori Ellison, Kevin Hart, and Astrid Bowlby contribute intensely rendered, tightly drawn works in ink, while David Kinast and David Ambrose create expanses of organic, meandering lines akin to automatic writing. Aric Obrosey's labyrinthine, swirling lines are inspired by da Vinci's drawings of water, while Adam Fowler's obsessively layered collages of lines suggest an overgrown forest of vines or branches. Heidi Pollard and Don Voisine use a grid structure in their mark-making to very different effect: the former nearly obliterates any open space in her broad washes of ink, while the latter's repetitive, tight lines build forms of different weight in his composition. Maureen McQuillan creates a collapsing space with her photograms using layered drawings, while Emily Stern employs organic forms and vivid color in her boisterously crowded compositions.
Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; on Saturdays the hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays are open by appointment. The gallery will close for vacation in August, re-opening on September 4th with a solo exhibition of new work by Jim Dingilian.
