“Thomas Hartmann: Summer Reading,” an exhibition featuring book- and library-themed paintings by contemporary German artist Thomas Hartmann is now on view through Aug. 5 in Rosenbaum Contemporary’s Boca Raton gallery, 150 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Fla.
Hartmann explores the tension between order and chaos in his work. Some of his common themes are urban and panoramic landscapes and choreographies of human gatherings as well as stacks of books and papers and library rooms crammed full of books.
Hartmann has received several awards including the Overbeck Prize for Fine Arts; the Art Prize for Artists of Düsseldorf, Germany; and the Willi Oltmanns Prize for Painting, Delmenhorst. His work has been shown throughout Europe and the United States in numerous venues including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio, and the National Library in Warsaw, Poland, among others.
Rosenbaum Contemporary, founded in 1979, is based in Boca Raton with a second gallery inside the St. Regis Bal Harbour Hotel in Miami. The gallery caters to international collectors interested in investment-quality works by Postwar, Modern and Contemporary masters and presents nationally recognized museum-level exhibitions throughout the year. The gallery also offers a wide range of free services to collectors worldwide including acquisition advice, art consulting, sourcing of artists, art collection building and management and resale of select works of art.
Domestic Photo is an extension of the current group show Domestic, featuring the photography of Barry Levinson, Laurie Simmons, Formento and Formento, Gregory Crewdson, and Robert Rauschenberg.
Opening reception July 8, 4-7pm
About the photographers
Barry Levinson is an American filmmaker and screenwriter best known for films such as Diner, The Natural, and Good Morning Vietnam, and won the Academy Award for Best Director in 1988 for Rain Man. With the astute eye of a film director, Levinson gives us a series of photographs shot entirely in his Soho neighborhood in NYC, all imagery being culled within a two block radius. Levinson states, “The challenge is to capture that which is deteriorating at the right time, as I see it. And to look inside the whole, it’s mostly the parts of the sum, rather than the sum of the whole.”
Part of The Pictures Generation, photographer and filmmaker Laurie Simmons has staged the scenes for her photography to make use of dramatically lit dolls, doll furniture, ventriloquist dummies, and people to make references to domestic life. Simmons has had numerous solo exhibitions at venues including P.S. 1 in New York, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the Whitney Biennial 1985 and 1991.
Formento and Formento are the husband and wife team of BJ and Richielle Formento. Working together since 2005 when they met on assignment, BJ has a background in street photography and has worked with luminaries including Richard Avedon and Annie Leibovitz. Richielle is a London-born fashion designer and art director. Their combined skill sets are in support of the gestalt theory, that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Their vision is singular, and is based on the dichotomy between fact and fiction.
Acclaimed photographer Gregory Crewdson’s work depicts elaborately staged imagery, often taking place in small-town America. Themes of life and death are highlighted. His most ambitious project, Beneath the Roses, brought him much notoriety as he captured cinematic levels of production within a single image. He has had numerous international solo exhibitions, serves as the Director of Graduate Studies in Photography at Yale, and is a Board Member of MASS MoCA.
Robert Rauschenberg is one of the most important American artists of the 20thcentury. Photography was the foundation of the vast majority of his two and three dimensional works. He captured the world from every perspective with his camera, and the imagery served as the source material for the massive amounts of screen-printing and photo transfer found in his art. For this exhibition, the true photographs of Rauschenberg’s trip to China in the 1980s for his ROCI series will be shown.
Arcadia Contemporary is very proud to present artists Daniel Bilmes, Rae Perry and
Katie G. Whipple. THREE painters, all UNDER the age of THIRTY who, we believe, represent the future of representational painting.
Each artist’s works are steeped in the tradition of strong draftsmanship and respect for their “artistic predecessors,” yet bring a fresh eye and unique, contemporary take on realistic painting.
THREE UNDER THIRTY will be each artist’s first, major exhibition.
