① Artwork:
UPF1
In this acrylic-on-panel painting, the artist summons a rudimentary visage by splashing, layering, scraping, and gouging the surface. Physically built with elementary symbols and gestures, the final image harkens to artists as diverse as Horace Pippin and Cy Twombly.
Jonathan Edelhuber invokes art historical references through his stylizations of the human face in extreme close-up. Part memento mori and part smiley face, his toothy, bright-eyed visages summon the joy and ridiculousness of our complicated personhood.
