Cheryl Pelavin Fine Art is pleased to announce Carter Hodgkin's exhibition Velocity. Ms. Hodgkin, one of a group of visual artists who early on probed the digital frontier, has always grappled with the relationship between nature and technology. She used references ranging from microbiology to neuroscience as the images emerged from an invisible world. In Velocity, the artist is employing particle physics, focusing on atoms colliding and splitting. "I am working with bubble chamber photographs which depict atoms splitting at a moment of collision. The linear trajectories created are at once precise, descriptive and expressive. The images are digitized and then hand-painted. I use particles of color suspended in medium, laying a diffuse ground of pigments that are then manipulated to depict the ferocity and randomness of charged energy. The sub-visible world of atoms in movement is exposed in lines of light against a churning deep and volatile space." Recently Carter Hodgkin has been included in several group exhibitions, as well as an upcoming solo exhibition, opening in January 2005 at Sweet Briar College, Sweet Briar, VA. Ms. Hodgkin's last exhibition with us was reviewed by Gerard McCarthy in the October 2003 issue of Art in America. |
