Work Left To Be Done

About the Item

Work Left to Be Done displays canoes repeating throughout the composition with fluid movements of color dripping down the surface. The canoe has become a fixture in McAdoo’s work, becoming a universally recognized “vessel” to carry memories, emotions, and points of view through the liminal space between destinations. "This is where it all started for me. A boat is like an empty canvas - it’s like a clean sheet of paper - the ultimate “liminal space”. College ruled notebook paper. Or a blinking cursor on a computer screen. All at once terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. Like life. I’ve been enamored with the shape and purpose of a boat - not just as transportation but as a VESSEL. A vessel for time, for dreams, for memories…a vessel from one shore to the next. The sweet liminal space. The quiet. The contemplative. The inner self. The sound of a paddle pushing against the water. Can you hear it? Water - it’s the sound of laughter. It's the sound of stillness. In a world of movement."

  • Ash: geometric abstract mixed media painting w/ red flowers, fruit & black lines
    By Mat Tomezsko
    Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
    Mat Tomezko's latest series of abstract mixed media paintings are constructed from traditional acrylic painting and the incorporation of ash into a hand-mixed paint of his own creation. This piece is part of a body of work that uses evocative materials and imagery of fire, flowers, food, newspapers, asphalt, and ash to illuminate the interconnectedness of destructive and creative forces. "Ash" is a traditional still-life and landscape composition interrupted by broad black geometric chevron lines or "arrows" that divide the composition symmetrically in a geometric balance. This painting is signed and dated on the back. It includes all hanging hardware and is ready to install -- no need for additional framing. Tomezsko is an artist from Philadelphia who creates abstract paintings, public art installations, and community art projects based around participation and everyday visual language. His approach to composition is informed by mid-century formalism and conceptualism. His work was recognized by the 2017 Americans for the Arts Public Art Network Year in Review for outstanding public art. Tomezsko’s work has been exhibited at numerous art spaces regionally and nationally, including the Crane Arts, Woodmere Art Museum, the Center For Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA), and Wexler Gallery in Philadelphia; Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago, IL; the Delaware Contemporary in Wilmington, DE; and Thomas Hunter Projects in New York, NY. He has created several notable public art projects including "14 Movements: A Symphony in Color and Words," a mile-long temporary mural installed in downtown Philadelphia during the 2016 Democratic National Convention; "Look Long and Look Good," a series of 30 paintings currently installed along Main Street in Manayunk; and "Flowering Axes," a mural in the 5th Street Vehicular Tunnel underneath the Ben Franklin Bridge. His work is in the collection of The Wharton...
