New Drawings
David X. Levine | Nicholaus Jamieson
David X. Levine's vivid, labor-intensive colored pencil drawings range in size from the intimate to the monumental (10” to 10’). Mixing popular and high culture, Levine creates a formal vocabulary that inhabits lushly optical spaces, generating rich and subtle associations. His work is often characterized by a playful humor, tempered with a profound seriousness. Levine’s art has been the focus of more than a dozen solo exhibitions, as well as being included in dozens of group exhibitions, from SPENCER BROWNSTONE in NYC to HONOR FRASER in Los Angeles. David X Levine was born in Boston, MA in 1962, and has been living in NYC since 2000.
Employing a serial process, Nicholaus Jamieson composes, masks, samples, and resamples color chalk lines on paper. Working both large and small, the inclusion of various mixed media within his vibrating color fields distills a calculated abstract language. Throughout, the combination of mechanics and gesture inherently challenge a viewer's perception of a handmade creation. Jamieson's work has been featured in multiple solo and group exhibitions in New York, he currently exhibits with Picture Room in Brooklyn, NY.Nicholaus Jamieson, b. 1982 Racine, WI, is an artist based in New York City since 2009.
