HANS NELEMAN: History on Hold
Curated by Krieger|Eley Art
The notion of 'history on hold' captures a moment frozen in time, reflected in the artworks of a multi-disciplinary artist who draws inspiration from the past to create meaning in the present. Through this concept, Neleman prompts us to pause, reflect, and contemplate, and in turn, invites us to look back for context and forward for purpose once we 'press play' again. The title cleverly references the art of photography, which resonates with the artist's background, where the act of 'capturing time' is paramount. In these paintings and collages, the artist employs fragments of sensibilities from the past, evoking a sense of nostalgia and timelessness. The distressed effects on many of the artworks further reinforce this sense of time's passage. Several works also feature details of sculptures from Roman times.
In Neleman’s transformative artistic process, these elements are re-born, and are particularly noteworthy in his surreal assemblage creations. Speaking to the title’s broader context, his hand-torn collages provoke a discourse between abstraction and figuration and the harmony of opposites.

ALL IN ONE
Artists: Lowell Boyers, Minako Iwamura, Andrei Petrov, Jeff Quinn, Andra Samelson and Suzanne Unrein
There are some artists who understand and embrace the actualization of their art as mutably BOTH Representational and Abstract. By rejecting the ghettoization of labels and strict narrative art historical codifications their work can reach within and outward in ways that are wholly less restrictive and burdened. Instead, the work manifests as One Voice that sings, communicating with variable dimensions and contextual intention, comfortable to allow for material “thusness” as well being read as symbolic and narrative expressions.
Art operates functioning as the representation of place, form, moments, feelings, and conceptual belief, and rawly, abstract expressions, notes, singular marks, and objectified phenomena, sensational, vibration. The adherence of some artists to define their concepts and artworks as “non-representational’ or “abstract” for understanding purposes can actually mislead and guide the viewer to CLOSE OFF their experience of the work of art. The work of art that allows for open reception, mutable moods and contextual lenses, functions in its fullest capacity for the benefit of the culture, the audience and for the alchemy of creative communication. It allows for the varying Experience of the viewer to grow and transform over time. This exhibition works to portray some of the multiple forms of expressions such intention can define.

FUTURE MYTH
Artists: Frank Ape, Chee Bravo, DISTORT, Patrick Dougher, Mason Eve, Isabelle Ewing, Ivan Orama, Franc Palaia, Brian Rothwell, Ian Sullivan, Misha Tyutyunik
The histories of the world are sown by grand narratives, myths, and tales, and they are born from countless cultural and individual contexts and perspectives. Artists have always reflected on these narratives, and, in doing so, have also formed the ways we think about and see the world we live in. Their forms and practice crystallize the way we experience our popular myths and narrative foundations for expression and understanding. This exhibition is curated to reveal the way artists see and define their worlds through the culture of personal and cultural myths that helped form their perspective on the world they’re living in. Real stories and examples in the lives of the artist’s will also be rich resources for these reflections. The artist's creative approaches are extremely diverse in play with context, craft, and selected media. And, in so doing, ideally, the impressions and alteration of the myths of the/our world will perpetuate.

In Out Of Line we invite you to roam outside of the norm and experience for yourself the emotion elicited from the paintings of these extraordinary artists.
