About the Item
ARTIST STATEMENT
My paintings develop from two basic forces—chaos and control. I see this polarity of extremes as the ambivalent to and fro of decision and uncertainty, observation and imagination, and the incessant struggle between impetuous enthusiasm and intellectual detachment.
The subject matter of my work originates from nature, and I usually find inspiration from a hike or short walk. I am drawn to the myriad worlds of gathering people, flower clusters and social insects as means to both an imaginary fiction and as reliable design modules to lend structure and unity. I experiment with the ambiguity between figure and ground, color schemes, tactile surfaces, and different sequences of gestures that create rhythm and asymmetrical balance.
The act of painting captures relative states of mind and isolated emotions, and eventually the painting begins to take shape with its own identity. I place my art in the modernist aesthetic tradition which includes Expressionism (Abstract, German, and Neo-), Post Impressionism, Cubism, and several contemporary artists such as Frank Auerbach, John Alexander, and Terry Winters. In this vein is a formal concern for spatial compression, paint application, texture, and color as carrier of meaning. As a performance in experimentation and problem-solving, a painting suggests an autonomous act of personal freedom within its formal and iconographical components.

Shifting
By John Hartell
Located in Dallas, TX
Valley House Gallery is honored to present a selection of paintings from the estate of American artist, John Hartell (1902-1995). John Hartell taught two disciplines at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York: freshman architects and graduate painters. He was a much-loved professor there from 1930 until his retirement in 1967; one of his most illustrious students is the architect Richard Meier. As an artist, Hartell's first solo exhibition was in 1937 at Kleeman Gallery in New York. He exhibited at Kraushaar Galleries in New York for four decades, beginning in 1943. The Hartell Gallery at Cornell University, under the Sibley Dome, is named for him. In describing John Hartell, the artist Michael Boyd...
