About the Item
paper pulp, wood
Denise Yaghmourian’s material based sensibility results in works that reference Feminism, Minimalism, Post-Minimalism, the Pattern and Decoration movement, as well as contemporary concerns about art making. Originally a painter, Yaghmourian discovered new materials for an experimental body of work by scavenging through fabric stores, thrift shops, and toy stores. Since then she has used objects associated with mass production and consumption, transforming the mundane into formal studies of shape, color, and pattern. Through her work she embraces the obvious and accepts the ubiquitous manufactured nature of today’s society. Yaghmourian creates works that are sophisticated, detailed, meditative, and elegant in their process and end result, but powerful in their tension between material and content.

Denise Yaghmourian
Denise Yaghmourian is sculptor, painter and installation artist. Her forms are rooted in past art movements and styles, yet they resonate with artistic concerns of today. The simplicity of her surfaces reveals a material-based sensibility while evoking deeper concepts tied to the human psyche. Yaghmourian’s practice often involves the alteration of sentimental items from her past in an effort to portray the way memories are stored and dealt with. Attachment, acceptance of loss, and newfound appreciations all play critical roles in her depictions of memory. Denise Yaghmourian studied art at Arizona State University and works as a full time artist. She has exhibited her work at The Tucson Museum of Art, Phoenix Art Museum, Ceres Gallery in NYC, Bogena Galerie in Saint Paul de Vence, France and SOHO20 Chelsea Gallery in NYC.

- Bi-Fold IXBy Mark PomilioLocated in Phoenix, AZcharcoal on paper mounted to silk foam core and wood Mark Pomilio’s work focuses on the research of fractals, cloning, and single cell manipulation. His mathematics-based drawings serve as a metaphor for naturally occurring systems of reproduction and growth. When Pomilio begins a piece, he doesn’t know where it will lead; although his tools and marks are precise, the layering, repetition, rotation, and distribution of basic shapes are improvised to emulate a single cell dividing and compounding into a complex form. The process of cell growth influences Pomilio’s practice and is emphasized through his own process, the use of erasure, faint outlines, opacity and translucency, and deliberate marks. The resulting compositions are balanced, unified, and harmonious. His work is included in the collections of the University of Arizona Museum of Art, Baylor University Martin Museum of Art, Dupont Corporation, University of Michigan...Category

- Warm LeafBy Alex YanesLocated in Philadelphia, PAThis is an original sculpture collaboration by artists Dennis McNett (also known as Wolfbat) and Alex Yanes from their "Good Medicine" exhibition at Paradigm Gallery + Studio in Philadelphia, PA, USA. This sculpture series marks the first time the two artists have ever worked collaboratively. PRESS RELEASE // Paradigm Gallery is pleased to present "Good Medicine", an exhibition featuring sculptural works in wood by Dennis McNett and Alex Yanes. New individual works by the artists will be displayed alongside pieces that have been created collaboratively between their studios. The show considers the concept of positive energy and how moods, situations, or experiences can be shaped by the presence of a strong force for good, while focusing broadly on the many ways that spirituality is practiced and explored in contemporary culture. Symbols, totems, and signs in a range of sizes are hand-carved and crafted from wood, resin, and acrylic to manifest the uplifting theme behind the works in three dimensions. "Good Medicine" will be on view through July 21, 2018. Both artists have practices that revolve around ideas of tradition, personal and communal narratives, nostalgia, and heritage. They express these themes in a blended style of neo-pop and folk art, drawing on their proximity to the subculture of skateboarding. With bold graphic elements and intricate detailing, the wooden sculptures, carvings, and installations portray a deeply personal and self-reflexive approach to art-making and craft, inviting the viewer to contemplate one’s quest for self-actualization through the assemblages. Dennis McNett is known for his large-scale woodcut sculptures that fuse relief printmaking with traditional wood carving. Steeped in domestic and international mythologies, McNett often receives the seeds of concepts for pieces through meditation and his spiritual practice that he then renders in his wood carvings, wood-cut panels, and prints. Over 15 works will be on display in "Good Medicine"– including "Big Mary’s Resurrection", an example of McNett’s dedication to clearing areas of bad energy left behind by past events. Also on view will be a new Owl Spirit sculpture series and collaged panels. His birds of prey and Norse images exist in high-contrast, with alternating deep and shallow black marks that delineate swaths of colored or natural wood surfaces. Alex Yanes constructs his surreal layered, textural sculptures from wood, epoxy resin, acrylic and spray enamel. The combination of materials gives his work a subtle gloss, with clean colors and polish. All Yanes’s 7 works in "Good Medicine", including a large wall installation, are brand new and showcase his signature pop graphics. The postmodern mashups reference funhouse aesthetics, with a nod to comics, cartoons, and vintage typography...Category
