About the Item

Hudson, NY - based artist Jason Middlebrook. Middlebrook takes inspiration from lived experience and the natural world with his signature hardwood paintings. Familiar yet enigmatic, the sky in its various forms serves as muse in "Skies." Never the same twice, the sky is ever-changing, differing dramatically from place to place and throughout each day. At times seemingly benevolent and at others cruel, the vast sky is in constant diaphanous conversation with the landscape and activity below. Middlebrook’s signature “canvas” of polished cross-sections of hardwood speaks to the artist’s deep tie to nature and its innate universal appeal. Striated with undulating rings, and sourced from a mill located in the Berkshires, local indigenous hardwoods such as cherry, walnut, maple, elm, white oak, cottonwood, and Cairo walnut are among the hardwoods Middlebrook uses in his works. Wonderfully organic and irregular, the silhouette of works featured in Jason Middlebrook’s "Skies" balance the airy weightlessness of line with the embodiment of slow time. Based on skyscapes observed during his travels and throughout a lifetime living in various locations around the United States, memories of transitional skies overhead connect to specific experiences. In this way, infinite variations of the sky are interpreted and abstracted across works, taking form via cues in color, form, and line.

    David B. Smith Gallery is proud to present "Song Cycle," a solo exhibition by Chicago, IL-based artist Robert Burnier. About this new body of work Burnier writes: "Song Cycle" is made in reference to a summer of deep listening to Marvin Gaye's musical ouvre, studying its complex histories and manifestations. A freedom and beauty of expression; a quest to bring unity to a divided body and mind, or their near inversion. The folded and compressed forms of the works in this exhibition retain a history of their own becoming -- the colors in ancient African...
