New Works
Victoria Loeb & JC Steinbrunner
June 20, 2008
Chicago, IL - The Architrouve is proud to present the group exhibition New Works by Victoria Loeb & JC Steinbrunner. The exhibition is a new body of work consisting of mixed media on canvas by Victoria Loeb and watercolor on stretched paper by JC Steinbrunner.
Victoria Loeb's new paintings are a graduation from her previous works on canvas and a revisit to her origins in figurative drawing, but this time it's not "the Line" that gives her figures shape and volume, but rather the layers of paint and subtle textures that form the mysterious silhouettes. Her purpose was to be as minimal as possible, to allow her technique to insinuate the luminous figures, to let them keep their lightness and mystery.
JC Steinbrunner's new watercolors are a continuum from his cities and landscape works. He rearranges how we see our built and natural environment; buildings and mountains appear crumpled on the paper and float in mid air with delicate layers and drips of watercolor. He explores the space between our lived experiences and our memory of those experiences by rendering familiar forms on paper in an unfamiliar way.
