Gilbert Hsiao: Shape/Anti-Shape, Gallery Sonja Roesch, Houston, TX

posted September 14th, 2009

sonjaroesch-hsiao

September 12 – October 31, 2009

Gallery Sonja Roesch announces a solo exhibition of recent work by Gilbert Hsiao, featuring perceptually-based abstraction painted on shaped wooden panels. Hsiao has been exploring the mechanics of visual perception since the 1980s. The viewer perceives oscillation through the illusion of a continuous wave produced by the physiological experience of space and movement. Meticulously layered stripes in tightly woven structures create a musical rhythm and repose.

“Shape/Anti-Shape” showcases Hsiao’s recent exploration of the use of irregularly shaped supports as a means of organizing pictorial space. The result is a continuously moving surface, which is reinforced through the shape of the painting. Metallic and fluorescent paint is applied with a vintage compressorless sprayer, creating a textured surface that makes these paintings an absorbing experience whether viewed close up or from a distance.

Gilbert Hsiao currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany, after thirty years in Brooklyn, New York. He studied Art History at Columbia University before receiving his BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. His work has been exhibited internationally, most recently in Australia, the Netherlands, and Germany as well as in the United States, where he exhibited at P.S.1 in New York. Hsiao is a recent recipient of a fellowship in painting from the New York Foundation for the Arts and is represented in a number of private, corporate and public collections.

Linear Abstraction, McKenzie Fine Art, New York, NY

Gary Petersen, Smashed, 2008
Oil on canvas, 56 x 40 inches

January 8 – February 7, 2009

This exhibition examines many of the ways in which artists use line as the dominant element in creating abstract imagery. Mark Dagley’s paintings of spherical webs of interlaced lines reference information technologies, the development of social networking sites and the global environment of interdependence while reflecting systems of interconnectedness, both spiritual and mechanistic. Gilbert Hsiao’s optically-charged, shaped canvases are painted in a reductive but vibrant palette and rely on simple, repeated patterns to achieve an overall complexity and visceral sensation in the viewer. Using camera-less photography techniques, Maureen McQuillan’s silvery networks of shadowy line create strange, unsteady images of light and focus, suggesting perceptions of both natural and virtual phenomena. In Gelah Penn’s site-specific installation, The Naked Kiss, the artist manipulates colored monofilaments and other tendril-like materials to reveal the complexities of movement and flowing expansion and the accretion of lines and shadows. Tautly bending, acid-hued bands of color compress and expand space in Gary Petersen’s paintings. Brightly colored parallel lines playfully flex, angle and curve as they define voids and create movement. In late 2001 Mary Temple began making ink on vellum drawings of a repeated and overlapping elliptical shape. Each drawing is identified with the number of discrete marks it contains and is part of a series she created to complete one million of these individual gestures.

Machine Learning, Curated by Matthew Deleget, Gallery Sonja Roesch, Houston, TX

posted March 8th, 2008

March 8 – May 3, 2008

An exhibition examining pattern painting in the information age, featuring four NYC-based artists Henry Brown, Terry Haggerty, Gilbert Hsiao & Douglas Melini.

The title of the exhibition, Machine Learning, is inspired by a part of artificial intelligence concerned with the development of algorithms that allow computers to “learn”.   Machine learning recognizes patterns within massive sets of information and has a wide range of real-world applications, the most ubiquitous of which is the Internet search engine.

The exhibition Machine Learning examines the relationship between abstraction and the information age, and presents four artists making new forms of pattern-based painting. The exhibition raises multiple questions.  How has abstraction responded to the irresistible siren call of the Internet?  How has abstraction digested the appearance, logic, and behavior of the Internet?  And finally, with every conceivable kind of information now available at the click of a mouse, what are contemporary abstract artists’ core concerns?

The exhibition originated at The Boyden Gallery, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, St. Mary’s City, MD in September 2007, and then traveled to The Painting Center, New York, NY in December 2007. A color catalog accompanies the exhibition.

* Machine Learning is a sponsored project of the New York Foundation for the Arts.  The exhibition, tour, and catalog are made possible by grants from the Wolf Kahn & Emily Mason Foundation, The Golden Rule Foundation, and Louise & Anne Abrons Foundation.
