Scott Foldesi: "New Work"
July 12, 2007—August 25, 2007 | Reception Thursday, July 12th, 6-8PM
Working from photographs culled from various media sources or shot by the artist himself, Foldesi’s paintings are eerily familiar renderings of contemporary life. The photo-based compositions are spare, masterfully capturing only the essential details of a given scene. Blank backgrounds become endless skies, while trees burst to life against concrete jungles. Deserted gas stations and abandoned drive-through parking lots become monuments to our times.
